Vanilla Ice had to disappoint his tens of fans when he made the choice to save mankind by cancelling his Coronavirus show in Texas.

It only took hosting a concert amid a global pandemic crisis in the state of Texas for Vanilla Ice to become relevant for the first time since 1991. The announcement that a July 4 Vanilla Ice concert would go on received widespread criticism on Twitter and has now led to the cancellation of the event in Austin, Texas that would have potentially exposed tens of people to COVID-19.

A planned Vanilla Ice concert for the Fourth of July weekend in Austin "has been canceled and will be rescheduled for another time," according to a representative for the rapper. Texas is one of the states in the midst of a surge of Covid-19 cases. https://t.co/sJBuzvf0mc

Mr. Ice initially defended his decision to by saying that “we didn’t have coronavirus in the ’90s,” but seems to have realized that we haven’t existed in the ’90s for over 20 years.

Many people on Twitter deemed the scheduled concert as “the lamest way possible to get COVID-19,” but I actually think a Vanilla Ice concert in the year 2020 is one of the safest places to be as social distancing is inevitable. In fact, Awesemo Side Action ranks it as #2 for “best places to social distance” right behind Miami Marlins games.

The concert will reportedly be rescheduled in the future for some reason.
