“You’re going to be getting your money back because I won’t be showing up, either,” Rock said on his Facebook page. “If you think I’m going to sit out there and say don’t tell me how to live, “We The People,” while people are holding up their f-ing vaccine cards and wearing masks, that s--- ain’t happening.”
Rock says there were some cities he didn’t book on his tour for this reason.
“We actually scratched Buffalo, NY off the list because of that and Toronto, Canada and several other cities we were looking at. I don’t want to deal with that s--- either and I know you don’t.”
According to the CDC, despite the current wave having peaked in some parts of the country, an average of around 2,200 people have died in the United States each of the last seven days from COVID-19.
Scientists say wearing masks, especially N95 and KN95 masks help reduce the spread of the virus and vaccines are proven to be both safe and effective at helping reduce a person’s chances of getting the virus and decreasing their chances of becoming severely ill and hospitalized.
Meantime, Rock says this could be the last big concert tour of his career.
“I’m not trying to sell tickets, oh this is the last tour, you better come out and see me, but it very well could be for the unforeseen future,” Rock said in another video he posted to Facebook. “I really don’t know for the unforeseen future if we’ll do a big tour again.”
Rock also plans to release a new album sometime this year called “Bad Reputation.” He released three new songs this week, including “We The People,” which is filled with explicit lyrics attacking President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Facebook, Twitter and the media. The song shot up to number one on iTunes the day after its release.
