Covid disrupts Iceland’s Eurovision live show performance – BBC News


Iceland’s entrant for the Eurovision song contest, Daði og Gagnamagnið, will not perform live in this year’s shows after a band member tested positive for coronavirus.

Daði og Gagnamagnið will stay in the competition but previous rehearsal footage will be used for Thursday’s semi-final, and if they qualify, the final on Saturday.

Jóhann Sigurður Jóhannsson said he was "shocked and disappointed" at finding out he had tested positive.

"I’m generally very sad about the whole situation," he said in a clip on the band’s Instagram story.

"I’m healthy. It’s difficult because we’ve worked so hard and I really wanted this and it’s been so long in the making.”
