The American singer and songwriter Christoper Cross (“Sailing”) is infected with the corona virus. The 68-year-old musician announced this on Friday on his social media channels. He usually does not speak publicly about his health, but he hopes that people will understand how serious and contagious this disease is.
“This is probably the worst disease I’ve ever had,” Cross wrote. He appealed to his fans to take the Covid-19 threat seriously. “It is a deadly disease that spreads like wildfire across the world.”

He was the first artist to win the highest US music award in the four most important categories “Best New Artist”, “Best Album”, “Song” and “Single of the Year”. He also had success with the theme song for the film comedy “Arthur – No Child of Sadness”, “Arthur’s Theme” was crowned with an Oscar for best song.
