In a podcast interview, Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses was loud and clear about how he and his family are coping with quarantine life during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said: “We’re looking at it very serious. I have two kids and a wife. We live in Seattle, so that was the first hotspot in the U.S.”

McKagan was rehearsing in Los Angeles for the Guns N’ Roses tour when the virus hit. His family was with him, so they stayed in LA. He says – “People seem unable to grasp the gravity of what could lie ahead of us if we don’t take aggressive action immediately.”

In talking about how fast the virus spreads, he noted, “I’m not blaming it on all the people that aren’t staying home, but it’s really F***ing important to stay at home. Don’t go out. Because it’s not just you — we’re not just talking about you!”
