John Prine has been hospitalized since Thursday after suffering from symptoms synonymous with the novel coronavirus. While Prine’s exact medical condition is unclear, “his situation is critical,” his family said in a statement Sunday.

“After a sudden onset of COVID-19 symptoms, John was hospitalized on Thursday. He was intubated Saturday evening, and continues to receive care, but his situation is critical,” the Prine family wrote.

“This is hard news for us to share. But so many of you have loved and supported John over the years, we wanted to let you know, and give you the chance to send out more of that love and support now. And know that we love you, and John loves you.”

An update on John

On March 20th, Prine’s wife Fiona revealed that she had tested positive for the coronavirus, and while her husband also tested, his status remained “indeterminate” at the time.

“There’s a chance he may not have this virus,” Fiona Prine said on Instagram, “and we are working really, really hard and being really diligent about all of the protocols. We are quarantined and isolated from each other and members of the family. It’s hard, I won’t lie, but it’s absolutely important.”

Prine’s health issues over the past few decades have been well-documented, as has the singer’s comebacks: In the late-Nineties, Prine was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer in his neck; after rounds of radiation, surgery and a year of rehabilitation, Prine returned to music, his deepened voice a battle scar from the cancer fight. In 2013, Prine announced he had an operable cancer, “non-small cell carcinoma,” in his left lung, briefly sidelining him.

How old is he?

73 yo

This is real bad news for John Prine

ya!


GWB

Love Prine. Wish him the best.

Would love to see him perform in the future.

Love some of his music, would've thought he was a lot older than 73.

Hopefully it’s not Covid

When is this thing gonna stop am getting tired already

Sad news.
Prine has been battling other health issues for a while.
Heck of a songwriter. Hope he can pull through.

This^^

All the Best.

we've gone to see him play every chance we get the last couple years..., that old boy still had a lot of energy...I hope he pulls through.

I'm hoping there's NOT a hole in God's ground where Johnny goes.....at least not from this.

Lots of good songs he wrote. I'll second "Hello In There" isn't a good song... it is a GREAT one. Dear Abby, Angel From Montgomery and many more. Lines like"if it wasn't so expensive I'd wish I was dead."

One of my all-time favorite artists. I saw him perform live in '78. I will pray for John Prine.

His wife tested positive and his test has not come back...

Davidson county Tennessee isn't a good place to reside at present.

My wife got a message from someplace saying John does have Covid
