Questlove came to John Mayer’s aid during a sold-out show in Madison Square Garden on Monday night (Feb. 21st).
People reports that Mayer performed a mostly acoustic set at his New York City concert after both his drummer, Steve Ferrone, and backup singer Carlos Ricketts, tested positive for Covid-19. Partway through the concert, the singer was joined by the Roots frontman, who took over on the drums.
The “Last Train Home” singer shared some stills from the show on Instagram where he wished his sick bandmates well and wrote, “My boundless appreciation goes out to the legendary @questlove, who stepped in on an hour’s notice to help end the show on such a powerful and definitive note. The brilliant musicians in this band stepped up in ways that I will never forget, and will bond us forever.
