Overview
- Jill Scott announced that what doctors first thought was a minor illness tested positive for COVID-19, prompting her to reschedule the last four U.S. concerts to protect attendees and crew.
- The two Sugar Land shows at Smart Financial Centre were moved to September 11 and 12 and the two Irving shows at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory were moved to September 14 and 15.
- Team Jill and venue listings say all previously purchased tickets and VIP packages will remain valid for the new dates and the performances are postponed rather than canceled.
- Coverage noted recent CDC monitoring that showed rising COVID-19 activity and highlighted wastewater surveillance as an early indicator of increased community spread that can warn organizers even when hospital visits remain low.
- The postponements affect the closing U.S. leg of Scott’s To Whom This May Concern tour, which supports her sixth studio album, and fans should expect the international run to continue as scheduled while U.S. dates are completed later.
