Serj Tankian contracts Covid; System postpone weekend showsOctober 22, 2021 - 16:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has contracted the coronavirus, which has forced the popular Armenian-American band to cancel this weekend’s shows. "After having 3 really fun shows, I got back to LA with flu-like symptoms. I am shocked that it could even be Covid as I am not just vaccinated but also incredibly careful," Tankian wrote on Instagram. "I am so sorry to have to push these dates yet again especially to those who made sacrifices to be here from out of town. Touring is not something I intend to continue doing down the line so these handful of shows have meant the world to me." The shows will now be held on February 4 and 5, 2022.
