311 signer Nick Hexum recently took to his Twitter account and shared the news of testing positive for the virus. However, he revealed that he and his family managed to spend the Christmas well and he urged the fans to stay safe.
Here is what he said:
“Happy holidays and wishes for goodwill to all. Please stay safe out there. We all have [the virus] here in this house. Only Harlow hasn’t tested positive. We’ve still managed to make it a pretty nice Christmas. Sending out positivity and gratitude.”
This past summer, rock/reggae veterans 311 went out on a summer tour. The band’s first since the pandemic, it came after a series of quarantine-era live streams from the group’s Los Angeles studio — and that streaming project continued throughout the tour, 311 offering up several shows for at-home viewing.
On Sunday, Dec. 26, the Oct. 16, 2021 show from North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista, California was streamed for free on the 311 YouTube page as a thank-you to fans for their support over the past year-plus.
That particular tour saw 311 mix in several of its well-known hits with a few fan favorites and deeper tracks. The set list:
