Duran Duran bassist John Taylor told fans Sunday night that he tested positive for the coronavirus three weeks ago and battled through a “mild case” of COVID-19.
The 59-year-old musician described his illness as a “turbo-charged flu” that lasted more than a week and wanted to share the message that the illness “isn’t always a killer and we can and will beat this thing.”
Taylor also said he understood the fear generated by the pandemic and indicated that he realized others may suffer deeper pain and loss.
Also over the weekend, Pink disclosed that she, too, recently recovered from the virus, for which she tested positive two weeks ago.
Pink said that after sheltering at home with her family, she was recently re-tested with a negative result.
In honor of her mother, Judy Moore, who worked for 18 years at the cardiomyopathy and heart transplant center at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pink is donating $500,000 to the hospital emergency fund. She’s also earmarked $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.
