Pantera bassist Rex Brown, who was forced to miss a few of the band's dates while recovering from Covid-19, has issued a short update.

Says Rex: "Quick Update Folks: After arriving back in the States this week, I’m feeling pretty damn good for a cat that had 104° fever a short time ago... Damn Good!! Already gearing up for these MASSIVE shows coming quick!! Thx for all your kind words & MERRY FCKN CHRISTMAS!!"
