Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter Christopher Cross is unable to walk after complications following contracting COVD-19.
Cross announced that he had tested positive to COVID-19 in early April.
In a statement he says “after being sick for weeks I started slowly to recover; unfortunately as a consequence of Covid-19 other problems were caused. At present I am suffering from intense muscle weakness and a temporary paralysis of my legs – I am unable to walk”.
Cross is confident he will (literally) get back on his feet soon. “Physicians have assured me that I will recover,” he said. “I have already begun physical therapy and am optimistic about improving.”
Just wanting to let you all know my status. Thank you for your kind words. I am so blessed to have you in my life. pic.twitter.com/7RKatChAx2
