LL Cool J Cancels New Years Eve Gig After Catching COVID
LL Cool J was scheduled to perform on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest but will cancel after catching COVID. The ABC Special is set to take place in New York City’s Time Square. LL made an announcement that he was looking forward to his performance but tested positive for COVID. He wishes everyone a “health and Happy New Year.”
Singer Chlöe was also supposed to perform and pulled out of the event. No explanation was given in her case. That announcement was made by MRC Entertainment, the company producing the New Year’s Eve special.
Despite losing LL & Chlöe, there will still be a number of Hip Hop artists performing, including Big Boi, French Montana, Polo G and Macklemore in a pre-taped performance from Los Angeles.
