Church has been at the front of the music industry’s efforts to return to touring. He told Billboard magazine this month, “It became very clear to me that the only way to really get back to normal is through vaccinations. You’ve got to get needles in arms.”

The artist has been fully vaccinated, after conferring with with epidemiologists and industry experts.

“I just want to play shows,” he said. “Politics’ job is to divide – that’s how you win elections. Those things that unite us are music and sports. The times when, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or whatever, you throw your arm around the person next to you. We need that. I need that.”
