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.”

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.
