John Prine, famed country & bluegrass singer-songwriter, is in critical condition after testing positive for coronavirus, according to a statement from his family.

“After a sudden onset of Covid-19 symptoms, John was hospitalized on Thursday (3/26),” read the family’s statement on Instagram. “He was intubated Saturday evening, and continues to receive care, but his situation is critical.”

“This is hard news for us to share. But so many of you have loved and supported John over the years, we wanted to let you know, and give you the chance to send on more of that love and support now. And know that we love you, and John loves you.”

I think he has some on going health issues too.

He is a great song writer.

quote:

"Please don't bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
No, I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"

"Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don't mind the size"

"Give my stomach to Milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just to get 'em out of here"

"Venus De Milo can have my arms
Look out! I've got your nose
Sell my heart to the junk man
And give my love to Rose"

"But please don't bury me
Down in that cold, cold ground
I?d rather have 'em cut me up
And pass me all around"


Hope he pulls through.

While not performed by JP, one of the best iterations of his song I've heard

John Prine has been in extremely bad shape for well over two years, maybe more.

I discussed his health with a friend last Monday and was surprised he's still around.

Not exactly someone without underlying health conditions.

JP was in terrible shape already.

Fabulous live performer, really just got into him in recent years, despite knowing of him since my childhood.

Last I heard, his wife was quarantined at home, separate from John, so I assume she is doing OK.
