“Within the next 24 hours, all hell broke loose with the sickness.” Testament's Chuck Billy on the devastation he felt contracting the coronavirus
Several Testament crew members ended up contracting what they believe is the coronavirus — the band’s bassist, Steve Di Giorgio, is also suspected to have the virus but could not get tested — and members of the other bands on the tour have gotten sick. Gary Holt, who plays guitar in Exodus, as well as Slayer, was recently tested and is still awaiting his results. Death Angel drummer Will Carroll is in intensive care, though it has not yet been revealed whether he’s battling the coronavirus.
At that point, we were like, “This is starting to go downhill now.” None of us were feeling ill. None of us got colds on tour. Everybody was pretty healthy until we left. Within the next 24 hours, all hell broke loose with the sickness.Not on our own. If you cancel one and you keep canceling, it’s going to be a devastating financial hit and the tour would just have to fold. So when we lost Italy, we just kind of kept going, saying, “Oh, man. It would suck to lose some more.
I’d say the first 10 days, we did nothing. We were joking, “Look, the dog puked right there. We’re two feet away and we can’t even clean it up.” We wereDid everyone on the tour feel that way? “Nobody is covered for an immediate loss of work. Especially when you have your year planned out and your touring planned out.”Two of the people that were traveling with us tested positive. Their doctors gave them the malaria medication. But they’re still in the same process. They’re just recovering. They all say the same thing: “We feel better, but we don’t feel like we’re still not sick. There’s still something there. But we feel more like ourselves.”Three or four days ago.
