Andrea Bocelli Tested Positive For Coronavirus

The world famous Italian opera singer, Andrea Bocelli, who had recently contributed to Lady Gaga’s One World: Together At Home concert from his home had been test positive for Coronavirus.

In a retrospective post on Facebook, Andrea Bocelli told the world of the virus and how it had affected him and his family.

He wrote, “The pandemic which has shaken the world has also affected –– albeit mildly –– me and certain members of my family. I certainly didn’t want to unnecessarily alarm my fans and also wished to protect my family’s privacy.”

Andrea Bocelli has managed to claim a centrepiece in our lives after his many collaborations with pop artists like Celine Dion and Ed Sheeran. It is not popularly known that he has been blind since the age of 12 but what is very well known is his ‘Music For Hope’ concert on YouTube that has been viewed more than 40 million times since the news of his positive Coronavirus test broke out.

In his statement, Bocelli continued, “I was able to be with my entire family and we all got infected. We had a fever, then we were cold, and then we got a little bit of a cough.” These are the common known symptoms of Coronavirus.

“We were fortunate enough to have a swift and full recovery by the end of March. Given the chance to donate blood to help find a cure for Covid, my response was an immediate ‘yes.’ A modest — but fundamental — gesture, through which I am playing my small part.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out.
