In 2022 the band were forced to cancel their concert at the Welcome To Rockville music festival in Florida due to Dave suffering long COVID.
He revealed in a since deleted Instagram post that he has been dealing with ‘long haul Covid’ for months and said there is no end in sight for his symptoms.
People with long Covid are those who have been positively diagnosed with Covid-19 but experience lingering symptoms weeks and months after the initial illness has cleared up.
‘So yeah, I’m one of the ones who came down with the ‘long haul covid’. Been sick since December and supposedly will be back to my old self in… nobody knows how long,’ Navarro penned.

‘If there are any of you who are still suffering long after your negative results, I’m just saying you aren’t alone.
‘The fatigue and isolation is pretty awful but try to spend your time with the ones you love and stay creative,’ he continued.
Navarro added that he’s relying on spiritual practices to help him get through the worst of it and, in particular ‘meditation and yoga have been very helpful.’
Long covid, or post-Covid conditions (PCC), occurs when patients who have since recovered from their initial Covid virus still experience lingering symptoms. There are indications that sufferers of long Covid may be dealing with the symptoms for years.
According to the CDC, symptoms of long Covid typically include: extreme fatigue, post-exertional malaise, fever, difficulty breathing, cough, chest pain, heart palpitations, brain fog, headache, sleep problems, lightheadedness, pins-and-needles feelings, loss of smell/taste, depression or anxiety, diarrhea, stomach pain, joint or muscle pain, rash and changes in menstrual cycles.
‘I’ll be ok, just don’t know when,’ Navarro said, adding that ‘all indicators are pointing to a full recovery at some point!’
Dave ended his post by asking people not to send their well wishes because he is ‘just so tired of talking about this.
