Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard has been diagnosed with COVID-19.
The singer took to Instagram to confirm the news on Monday morning (Nov. 9), revealing that he is asymptomatic and quarantining on his bus at home.
“Got the vid. Asymptomatic. Quarantining on bus. Miss my family. Writing songs. Thankful,” he wrote.
Hubbard first teased the news on Sunday evening (Nov. 8), sharing a photo of his tour bus parked outside his home.
“Any ideas why I would have my tour bus parked in the drive way,” he wrote.
Several fans guessed in the comments, however, Hubbard waited to confirm the news until Monday morning.
Florida Georgia Line was slated to take the stage during The 54th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday. There is no word from the Country Music Association on who will fill in for the duo.
Hubbard’s diagnosis comes after Lee Brice also tested positive and was forced to step down from his CMA Awards performance with Carly Pearce.
