Christopher Cross.CBS Sunday morning
The singer, best known for his ’80s songs “Sailing” and “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do),“shared his experience with COVID-19in an interview withCBS Sunday Morning.
“There was some come-to-Jesus moments or whatever where I was looking for any help I could get to, you know, through this, to get out of this thing,” he toldCBS News' Serena Altschul. “Because I wasn’t sure.”
“It was the worst 10 days of my life,” Cross recalled. “And I couldn’t walk, could barely move. And so, it was certainly the darkest of times for me. It really was touch and go, and tough.”
The ordeal left Cross temporarily paralyzed. Now, he is able to get around with the help of a cane, but is still feeling the effects of the virus.
“My walking is affected,” he said. “My speech at times can be affected. Memory is a big deal, too. Just neurologically, I’m kind of a little foggy. Now I’m on medication … a nerve pain medication, which also can cause some fogginess.”
“But until I can get off it at some point, I won’t know how clear I would be,” he added. “But most people with Guillain-Barre heal about 90% to 100% over about a year. That’s what my prognosis is.”
The musician said he wanted to share his own story to educate others on the deadly virus, which hadkilled over 1 million people worldwideat the time.

The singeropened up about her health on Instagram Livewith her friend and author Jen Pastiloff on April 4, 2020, afterrevealing her positive diagnosis.
During the chat, she explained that she and her son “have been really, really sick,” adding that Jameson “has had the worst of it.”
Pink said that while she and Jameson both got sick, her husbandCarey Hartand their daughterWillowhave been healthy.
“Jameson has been really, really sick,” she said. “I’ve kept a journal of his symptoms for the past three weeks and mine as well. He still, three weeks later, has a 100 temperature. It’s been a rollercoaster for both of us, but Carey and Willow have been perfectly fine.”
Pink said that while her and Jameson’s conditions have since improved, they have not fully recovered yet.
“We’re better than we were,” she said. “Last week I was on Nebulizers. I’ve had asthma really bad, had it for my whole life. It got really, really scary, I’m not gonna lie. In the beginning, all we were hearing was ‘If you’re young, this is 65 and older, all of the kids are fine.’ "
“Yes I have asthma, but Jameson, he’s three, he’s perfectly fine,” Pink continued. “We live in the country, right. The worst thing that attacks us here is pollen or mountain lion. But he’s been really, really sick and it’s scary. He’s been up and down and I’ve been on nebulizers for the first time in 30 years and that’s been really scary for me.”
The star added, “I’m hoping we are out of the woods but this thing is a rollercoaster. Just when you think you are better, something else happens.”

TheYoungerStarexplained on Instagramin 2020 that “about a month ago my entire home (husband and two teen daughters)got an odd bug —Low grade fever, headaches, sore throat, body aches, ears ringing and a dry cough. It cleared up quickly. Seasonal I thought? butit felt unusual/different.”
After some time had passed, Mazar woke up one day with a high fever and “super intense body aches.”
“Two weeks later, March 15th, I woke up with all those same symptoms but super intense body aches, and 102.4 fever. I figured maybe I got the flu or..Corona?” she wrote.
After finding out that she had tested positive, Mazar hoped that she had already “been through the worst” of her illness. “Its very ‘morphy.’ One day I feel crappy and the next I’m normal,” she said.
“Today my lungs are heavy, but I’m tough. I can breath, and I’m going to heal here, in my own home!” she added, noting that the rest of her family, who have no symptoms, are also under quarantine for 14 days.
