Christopher Cross said about recovering from Covid-19:
“Dear Friends, i want to thank you for kind words and to let you know how i am doing. As you know, last month i got Covid-19 virus. It took a long while to get the test and by the time i got a test i was already out of the infection window.”
“I had become very ill but fortunately i did not develop respiratory complications. I feel so sad about all the souls lost to this pandemic. After being sick for weeks i slowly started to recover; unfortunately as a consequence of Covid-19 other problems were caused. At present i am suffering from intense muscle weakness and temporary paralysis of my legs – i am unable to walk.”
“However, physicians have assured me that i will recover. I have already begun physical therapy and am optimistic about improving. My girlfriend has been my angel throughout all of this. my management team, good friends and family have all been amazing. In addition, i have a wonderful medical team.”
“I wanted to let you know my situation, and that i will get past this. I look foward to beginning my 40th Anniversary Tour soon and when i do, i hope to see you all. Again, than you for your kindness and support. Love Christopher.”
