Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has checked in with an update on his health after having revealed the he had tested positive for COVID-19 late last week. At the time, he stated that he was feeling “very, very sick.” Taylor had previously been fully vaccinated for the disease and was optimistic on his recovery, offering: “I should be okay — it’s the flu. I’m vaccinated, so I’m not worried. But I certainly wouldn’t want to spread it to anyone else.”
In the below new video update shared by Taylor today, August 23rd he revealed that he is “out of the woods” with most of the symptoms having passed. He went on to add:
“I also want to say that because I was vaccinated, I truly believe that is what helped me get over the brink. I mean it was the worst I’ve ever been sick in my life. Had I not been vaccinated I shudder to think how bad it would have been. But because I had that extra little bit of protection, it definitely helped me get through it. So, go, go, go. If you’re still on the fence, I’m telling you right now it’s the best thing you can do for yourself.”
Taylor himself had wrapped up his latest solo tour in Denver, CO a day prior to his August 20th announcement that he had contracted COVID-19.
Just a little update on how I’m recovering. Thanks so much to everyone who sent their best wishes and to friends and family who reached out. pic.twitter.com/haWwWZbdN3
