Brandi Carlile 'finally got' COVID-19 and had to drop out of this weekend's Stagecoach

COVID-19 "finally" got folk-rock musician Brandi Carlile, forcing the Grammy winner to cancel her appearance at the Stagecoach country music festival this weekend.

"Hey, buddies. It finally happened. I have the COVID," the "Right on Time" and "The Joke" singer said Wednesday in an Instagram video. "So I won't be able to come to Stagecoach. Ugh. it's horrible. I'm a few days in, and I have a chest infection, but I think I turned a corner today and I'm starting to feel a little bit better.

"I just want to let everybody know that I'm devastated to be missing you, and I hope you have a wonderful time out there with all my freakin' friends," the 40-year-old added. "See you on the other side of this trash."
