Andrea Bocelli didn't reveal his coronavirus diagnosis 'out of respect for those for whom contracting the virus has had more serious consequences.'
The 61-year-old singer said in a statement given to ET on Tuesday that he decided not to reveal his diagnosis until now,"out of respect for those for whom contracting the virus has had more serious consequences."
"The pandemic which has shaken the world has also affected -- albeit mildly -- me and certain members of my family," Bocelli's statement read."I certainly didn’t want to unnecessarily alarm my fans and also wished to protect my family's privacy." "We were fortunate enough to have a swift and full recovery by the end of March," the statement continued."Given the chance to donate blood to help find a cure for Covid, my response was an immediate 'yes.' A modest — but fundamental — gesture, through which I am playing my small part."
