As a result, Watson will no longer be performing at the World Championship Rodeo Bullfight Finals and Concert at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum September 18 in Ardmore, Okla.
“I wanted to let you know that I’m fine but we did have a band member test positive for Covid even though he was fully vaccinated – so being cautious and under Covid protocol guidelines, we have rescheduled our upcoming weekend shows and canceled for the following week,” said Watson.
