“Hey everyone, I have some news to share and I wanted you to hear it straight from me. Um, even though I’ve been fully vaccinated, I’ve just been diagnosed with a breakthrough case of COVID.”

He canceled his upcoming Vegas shows, but failed to mention what this means for his ‘DWTS’ duties.

His diagnosis could impede upcoming tapings of the hit dance show.

His positive COVID test could potentially mean show tapings and performances are pushed back while the entire cast and crew get tested for the virus.
