NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Members of the Band Perry say theyre taking precautions as they prepare to travel to Brazil for the Summer Olympics, due to the concerns about the Zika virus.The sibling groups pop-influenced song Live Forever was chosen as Team USAs official song, and theyre heading to Rio de Janeiro to perform on television and also for the athletes. The opening ceremony will be held Friday.Neil Perry said he isnt worried, but said his brother Reid and sister Kimberly were nervous about the trip. Brazil has had an outbreak of the mosquito-transmitted Zika, which has been linked to brain-related birth defects, but health officials say the risk is low. Several athletes and journalists have decided not to attend the Olympics because of the health risk.I think its definitely been hyped, so we are going to take some precautions and perform in Saran Wrap, Kimberly Perry joked.

To be able to be with UMG and Interscope, that just opens a whole lot of opportunities for the three of us that we really wanted to do.The band had been working with producers like RedOne and Diplo on an album that was scheduled to come out last November. Most of that album was ultimately scrapped as they moved to a new record deal. They said they hope to release a new album by the end of this year, with a coinciding tour to start next year.Kimberly Perry, who has sported blond curly locks since the bands debut in 2010, revealed her new brunette hair color to match her brothers brown locks. Its been an adjustment for her husband, baseball player J.P. Arencibia.Sometimes I dont recognize myself still, Perry said. My husband says hes still getting used to it.
