Trivium vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy has revealed that he and several members of his family recently contracted COVID-19. As he explained on social media today (July 04th), both he and his wife Ashley were fully vaccinated against the disease however, with Matt stating that his symptoms were drastically lessened as a result. He would go on to state that his young children also got the disease, as did his unvaccinated father, who continues to recover from complications from it.
Matt‘s post on the matter reads:
“Welp. Went from a non-vaccinated person to Ashley (vaccinated) to the kids (unvaccinated) to me (vaccinated).
Thankfully due to being vaccinated it merely feels like a tour cold; my dad however got sick without a vaccine and is now 12 weeks into a very terrible recovery with lung/ heart/ liver issues.
I outta be good in a day or two. See y’all on stream tomorrow regardless!”
