After two months of keeping it a secret, Andrea Bocelli has revealed that he, and his family, tested positive for coronavirus back in March.
The Italian opera singing icon confirmed the diagnosis in a Facebook post on Tuesday, adding that along with his family, he was “fortunate enough to have a swift and full recovery” by the end of that month.
Bocelli, 61, said that he kept the news confidential “out of respect for those for whom contracting the virus has had more serious consequences.” “I certainly didn’t want to unnecessarily alarm my fans and also wished to protect my family’s privacy (too),” admitted the five-time Grammy Award nominee.
