Vanilla Ice is listening to the concerns of his fans — revealing he's canceled his Fourth of July performance in Austin, Texas.
After receiving major backlash in the comments section of the post, Vanilla Ice took to Twitter earlier in the day on Thursday to stand by his decision to perform."I take the coronavirus serious. But we can’t live in a bubble," he wrote."I think at this point we all understand the severity of it. Practice social distancing and wear a mask."
"This is an outside venue, Fourth of July on the lake with fireworks," he continued."Plenty of room for distancing." Many were quick to call him out again, writing things like,"Yeah, throw in alcohol and see how long that lasts. You seem like a real solid dude, but this is a mistake." Another added,"I think if you're having a concert you're demonstrating that you do NOT understand the severity of it and you are NOT taking it serious.", who also reported that Jen Samp, a spokesperson for the Travis County Health Department, is highly advising people not to go.
"Don't go to this concert," she urged. "If you do go to the concert or anywhere else publicly, wear a mask and socially distance, have sanitizer in your pocket and wash your hands every time you arrive at a new place."
