OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Heafy has contracted the coronavirus.

He wrote on Instagram this week: “Welp. Went from a non-vaccinated person to Ashley (vaccinated) to the kids (unvaccinated) to me (vaccinated).
“Thankfully due to being vaccinated it merely feels like a tour cold; my dad however got sick without a vaccine and is now 12 weeks into a very terrible recovery with lung/ heart/ liver issues.
“I outta be good in a day or two. (sic)”
He has since revealed that a friend from martial art school Gracie Barra North Orlando sent him some food to help out while he was isolating.
He added: “One of my @gbnorthorlando bjj brothers just dropped off a massive care package to aid in my recovery! (sic)”
The 35-year-old musician has been keeping busy, and has month he revealed a new track called ‘The Defiance’, which has been produced by Linkin Park star Mike Shinoda.
The ‘In The End’ rocker had previously teased: “Gonna try to keep the metal, but mash it up with lots of unexpected things.”
