Blake Shelton posted a video to his Instagram yesterday to share the "obvious" about his three Ole Red bar locations in Nashville, Tishomingo, Oklahoma and Gatlinburg during this COVID-19 pandemic.

He said on the video taken in his property in Oklahoma, "Obviously until this thing gets behind we've closed down the locations."

Blake continued, "We do have a commitment to all of our employees and we're taking care of them. And we're trying to figure out ways to take care of the artists and musicians who perform at Ole Red maybe a fundraiser or something. We're still trying to figure that out."

Shelton added, "Do the right thing stay away from everybody, (joking) for some of us that's not hard because nobody likes us. Let's take our mandatory vacation and enjoy it."

He posted, "Just wanted to check in & give a little #OleRed update. Hope y’all are staying safe & healthy!"
