Jon Bon Jovi cancels Miami concert. Tested positive for COVID according to staff. @jonbonjovi @wsvn pic.twitter.com/Hrvn7ETEwG

Early last year, Bon Jovis keyboardist David Bryan, percussionist Everett Bradley and his son Jacob Bongiovi, who was 18 at the time, tested positive and immediately went into quarantine.

While Bongiovis case was mild, Bryan and Bradleys bouts were more serious.

Breakthrough cases can happen in vaccinated people, but symptoms usually are mild. Vaccinated people also appear to be contagious for a shorter period of time .
