In the self-recorded clip, he said, ‘Hey guys, I’ll give you a little update on the concert in Austin. Basically I will not go.
‘I listen to my fans, I listen to all of you out there. I didn’t know the numbers were so crazy in Austin, but we hoped it would be much better for the Fourth of July because we booked this concert a long time ago.
Basically I just want to be safe. We take it seriously and we want to make sure everyone is safe. ”

Vanilla Ice had revealed on Instagram last week that she will be performing at the Emerald Point Bar & Grill on Friday, July 3.

‘Go ninja go!’: He went on to say that he did not want to be the focal point of this debate.
While most concert halls are closed, the Emerald Point Bar & Grill earns more than half of its revenue from food sales, so it is still classified as a restaurant and therefore still open, according to the Austin Chronicle.
Emerald Point general manager Matt Norcia told the Chronicle in May that the facility can accommodate up to 4,000, although that number increases to 5,000 when the beach area is open.
The concert is part of The Independence Day Throwback Beach Party, with 90s group Color Me Badd also performing on July 4.
Throwback Beach Party promoter Mike Wade said they will limit ticket sales to 2,500, which will cost between $ 25 and $ 300.
