“As many of our fans know Nick [Zinner] has had pneumonia over the past month and it’s been an up and down recovery process. The band’s top priority is supporting Nick through a full recovery,” the band said in a statement. “We are deeply thankful and expectedly heartbroken we cannot rise to these occasions. It’s been a tough week, and it’s been a tough year on the health front for us alongside so many artists who are committed to connecting with audiences amidst a pandemic. We send our love to our fans and supporters, thank you for your understanding and well wishes, it means the world to us. Wishing you a healthy and happy rest of 2022, we’re looking forward to a strong return in 2023.”
Hopefully, Zinner will be better soon, and the band will be back performing live again!
Back to SNL, since the show must go on, it will go on with Lizzo as the musical artist. That is unless Martin Short throws a coin at her.
