Luke Combs has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in quarantine. He was tested for COVID as he was set to be at rehearsals for the 2022 CMT Music Awards today (3/24).

Combs was scheduled to pre-record a performance alongside Kane Brown today, and now Old Dominion will replace him in the performance.

The Tennessean reports that CMT told them, "Unfortunately, Luke Combs won't be with us tomorrow. He is quarantined with COVID. He's bummed to miss seeing everyone!"

Luke has not yet made a statement regarding his COVID status. He just returned from playing shows in Europe.

Combs' wife Nicole Hocking is currently pregnant with the couple's first child. She did not go with her husband overseas. She tested positive for COVID in late December 2020.
