“Our beloved John died yesterday evening at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.” Whelan Prine wrote on social media. “John contracted COVID-19 and in spite of the incredible skill and care of his medical team at Vanderbilt he could not overcome the damage this virus inflicted on his body.”
She continued, “I sat with John — who was deeply sedated — in the hours before he passed and will be forever grateful for that opportunity.” Prince died Tuesday at the age of 73, just over a week after it was first revealed that the singer tested positive for the novel coronavirus; Whelan Prine also tested positive for COVID-19 but has since recovered.
“My dearest wish is that people of all ages take this virus seriously and follow guidelines set by the CDC. We send our condolences and love to the thousands of other American families who are grieving the loss of loved ones at this time — and to so many other families across the world,” Whelan Prine wrote.
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outpouring of love we have received from family, friends and fans all over the world. John will be so missed but he will continue to comfort us with his words and music and the gifts of kindness, humor and love he left for all of us to share.”
DON'T listen to the CDC guidelines - Trump is controlling the CDC and they have just told people that if they 'think' they have been exposed to the virus and don't have symptoms you can go back to work. The ONLY way this works is if the antibody test PROVES that you are immune.
I said many prayers for John to recover; he would have written the deadliest song ever about this bitch of disease. Blessings to all his family & loved ones.
I thought Covid-19 was a Democrat hoax.
Fighting the urge to not be a “proofread, guys” a-hole but John Prine deserves better. Prince died in 2016, y’all.
I'm devastated. I love John Prine so much. Know all his songs word for word. Followed him around Nashville for years Blow up the tv Throw Away the paper
proofread 🤦♀️
charlesadler I was lucky enough to see John Prine in the late 70's. RIP to one of the best ever.
