Singer Christopher Cross Tests Positive For COVID-19
In a sign of how quickly things have changed in our world, much-loved singer/musician Christopher Cross WAS scheduled to perform as part of the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival later this month as part of the theme park’s Eat to the Beat Concert Series. However, that was before the COVID-19 outbreak which has resulted in ALL Disney theme parks being closed until further notice. In addition, Cross took to Facebook yesterday to announce that he is currently suffering from the coronavirus.
Check out his official Facebook post here:
The Grammy- and Oscar-winning artist, known for early 1980s hits “Sailing” and “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” from the movie “Arthur,” said he is not hospitalized but added, “This is possibly the worst illness I have ever had.”
According to a recent piece in USA Today, Cross was supposed to be embarking on a tour this Spring to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his debut album Christopher Cross,” which helped Cross sweep all four major categories at the 1981 Grammy Awards ceremony: Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist.
We wish him a speedy recovery. We also hope that you’ll continue to follow along with MickeyBlog for the latest news and updates.
