Singer Christopher Cross Diagnosed With COVID-19

Christopher Cross, the singer-songwriter, has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

In a Facebook post on Friday, the Grammy- and Oscar winning musician best known for his 1980s hit song “Sailing” and “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do)” from the comedy Arthur wrote:

“I’m sorry to report that I am among the growing number of Americans who tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.This is possibly the worst illness I have ever had.”

He continued:

“For those of you who still do not believe the COVID-19 virus is real, or think it is a ‘hoax’ or part of some conspiracy, my advice to you is to understand right now that this is a deadly illness spreading like wildfire throughout the world.”

“Wherever you are in the world, let’s all be kind to one another. Only if we work together can we defeat COVID-19.”
