The country music singer comes under fire for joking that he has contracted coronavirus while promoting his new single ‘Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen’.

Dec 2, 2020
AceShowbiz – Chase Rice has once again sparked backlash from fans after joking he has the coronavirus to promote his new single.
The country star was highlighting the release of his “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen” collaboration with Florida Georgia Line on Twitter on Sunday (29Nov20) when he wrote, “Just lost my taste and smell. Weird. Also, dropping a single at midnight.”
However, Rice’s followers were less impressed with his tweet, with one writing, “Hey first off I hope you’re not sick but if you’re not damn it I have Covid right (now) don’t be joking around about this c**p cause I’m struggling to catch my breath at times to a point I feel like I’m about to pass out, Don’t be using a pandemic to rise sales of a dang song!”
Another replied, “Chase I’m very disappointed at this apparent ‘joke’ as it really isn’t funny. I’ve lost my taste and smell since March (9 months!) and quite frankly it’s hell!!”

Responding to the backlash, Chase later returned to the social media site with another message, as he tweeted, “On a real note. Don’t have covid. But I’m dropping a single tonight. With 2 guys that I learned a lot from. Respect the hell out of @FLAGALine. And 10 years after we started doing music together and lived together, we’re at it again. Drinkin beer. Talkin God. Amen.”
However, the post did little to quieten critics, as another commented, “I’m legitimately glad you’re ok but it’s NOT funny joking about having Covid. Especially to promote music. People are literally dying from it. And Tyler (Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line) might not find your joke funny either since he’s actually HAD Covid.”
Another person wrote, “Really in bad taste to joke about Covid. Thought you had learned something since the concert incident this year. Guess not. Here’s an idea: take all the earnings from this song and donate to Covid survivors or donate PPE to local hospitals. Do better, Covid is not a joke.”
In June (20), Chase hit headlines when he held a concert in the Brushy Mountain State Penitentiary venue in Petros, Tennessee, with hundreds of people cramming in without wearing any face masks or protection against the virus.

Having kept fans entertained during the coronavirus shutdown, the ‘Trouble in Paradise’ singer plans to kick off the new leg of his Rufus-Retro-Wainwright-Spective! 2021 on January 8.

Dec 1, 2020
AceShowbiz – Singer Rufus Wainwright is extending his virtual tour well into 2021 as he continues to revisit albums from his back catalogue for concert livestreams.
The musician has been keeping fans entertained during the coronavirus shutdown by performing his old releases in full and in chronological order from the comfort of his own home, and he plans to keep the weekly events going for a few more months.
He will kick off the new leg of his Rufus-Retro-Wainwright-Spective! 2021 on 8 January, when he will sing the first half of his 2007 album Release the Stars, and continue the tunes on 15 January.
“All Days are Nights: Songs for Lulu” will be performed in another pair of shows on 22 and 28 January, while he will follow that up with “Out of the Game” gigs on 5 and 12 February.
He will round out the trek with “Take All My Loves: 9 Shakespeare Sonnets” on 19 February, “Rufus at the Movies” (Soundtrack Songs) on 28 February, and belt out tracks from “Unfollow the Rules”, his recent Grammy-nominated release, on 4 and 12 March.

He will be joined by guitarist Brian Green and keyboardist/pianist Jacob Mann for the upcoming shows, and host a special guest for each date.
“I did not expect to have so much fun redoing my first four albums with Brian and Jacob on guitar and piano in October and November,” Rufus shares in a statement.
“So many songs I had not performed live in decades as I always thought they needed a large band but they actually hold up quite well in this very intimate living room setting.”
“I wasn’t sure how fans would react and whether anyone would buy tickets. Well, my fans have and I am incredibly grateful for their support and for the opportunity to go all the way on this road to my last album.”
“I am so excited that ‘Unfollow the Rules’ was just nominated for a Grammy and I would love to actually end this retrospective as a Grammy winner,” he adds. “But even without I feel I have won a lot through this experience.”
