Cory Taylor is “Doing well” according to his wife, Alicia’s Twitter. Alicia Taylor posted this:
“Wanted to give you guys an update: Corey is doing well and thanks everyone for the sweet thoughts and messages. Ready to get him home as soon as it’s safe, so I can take care of him! He (very luckily) hasn’t lost his sense of taste or smell so I send him stupid amounts of snacks, hydration powders, and yummy desserts.”
Cory Taylor, vocalist of Slipknot, Stone Sour and his own solo project, felt very, very, sick and had tested positive for covid-19 according to a video that he had posted, on Friday, cancelling his appearance at the Astronomicon convention that weekend. We brought you that video recently as Taylor assured fans that he “Should be okay.” because he had been vaccinated so was “not worried” about his illness. Then added “But I certainly wouldn’t want to spread it to anyone else.”
Taylor shared his feelings about vaccination in a recent interview with Consequence Of Sound, here is what he had to say,
“The fact that [vaccines] have been demonized, almost to the point of these gnarly conspiracy theories, no wonder why people are afraid of it — because they’re listening to the wrong people.”
He added:
“Do I think it should be a requirement for people to be vaccinated to go to shows? Yes and no. Here’s the thing: there shouldn’t be a mandate. But guess what, man — if you’re going to put people at risk of getting sick, you shouldn’t want to go to a show. That’s common sense. And if you do put people at risk, then you’re a fuckin’ asshole. And you shouldn’t be let in anyway. So, for me, it’s a common sense thing, but we don’t have a lot of common sense these days, man.”
Taylor had just completed a leg of his solo tour in support of his 2020 album CMFT Thursday night, August 19th in Denver before falling ill. We will keep you posted.
Wanted to give you guys an update:
Corey is doing well and thanks everyone for the sweet thoughts and messages. 🥰
Ready to get him home as soon as it’s safe, so I can take care of him! 🖤
