Slayer’s Gary Holt says he has “all the symptoms” of COVID-19

Scott Dudelson/Getty ImagesSlayer guitarist Gary Holt says he’s exhibiting “all the symptoms” of the COVID-19 coronavirus.

“Mildly sick, better today after repeatedly waking up soaked in sweat last night,” Holt writes in an Instagram post. “Self monitoring with my better half, and unfortunately, won’t be able to visit my grandkids until I’m symptom free for seven days.”

While he’s hunkered down at home, Holt plans to watch movies and binge-watch TV shows.

It’s fortunate — or however fortunate things can be in these crazy times — that Slayer already finished their final tour in the pre-coronavirus world. The thrash legends played their very last show last November.
