Christopher Cross is getting candid about his experience with coronavirus.

The 69-year-old “Sailing” singer shared his experience in an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, airing in full this weekend.

“There was some come-to-Jesus moments or whatever where I was looking for any help I could get, you know, through this, to get out of this thing. Because I wasn’t sure,” he explained after testing positive for COVID-19 in April after a trip to Mexico City.

He was later diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which caused his body to attack his nerves.

“It was the worst 10 days of my life. And I couldn’t walk, could barely move. And so, it was certainly the darkest of times for me. You know? It really was touch and go, and tough,” he continued.

“I could tell you that I had a few conversations when I was in there – with whoever he or she is, and just saying, you know, ‘If you could just get me out of here, I will be a better person,’” he said of speaking to a higher power.

“I’m not a big celebrity, but it’s important for people to know you can get this disease. I felt it was my obligation to share with people. ‘Look, this is a big deal. Like, you’ve got to wear your mask. You’ve got to take care of each other. Because this could happen to you.’”

All of these stars have also tested positive for coronavirus.

Grammy and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter Christopher Cross has announced that he tested positive for coronavirus and he has a warning for fans who think the whole thing is a hoax.

The 68-year-old singer, best known for his song “Sailing,” wrote a message on his Facebook account.

“Dear Friends, I’m sorry to report that I am among the growing number of Americans who tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. I’m not in the habit of discussing medical issues on social media, but I do so in hope this will help other people to understand how serious and how contagious this illness is,” Christopher wrote. “Although I am fortunate enough to be cared for at home, this is possibly the worst illness I’ve ever had.”

“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,” Christopher said. “PLEASE make every attempt to stall the spread of this virus by: 1) staying home- the only way we can stop the spread right now is by self-quarantine 2) washing your hands as many times a day as you can and don’t touch your face and 3) follow the SCIENCE.”

“Importantly, please read the guidelines posted at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to educate yourself on the facts and protect your loved ones,” he concluded. “Last but never least: wherever you are in the world, let’s all be kind to one another. Only if we work together can we defeat COVID-19.”

Christopher won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1981 for “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do” and that same year, he became the first artist to ever win the top four Grammys in the same year. He won Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist in one night. Another artist became the second to do that just a couple months ago!
