American singer-songwriter John Prine is in a critical condition following the sudden onset of Covid-19 symptoms. In a statement posted to the star's Twitter account, the Prine family confirmed that he had been hospitalised last Thursday and that his condition worsened over the weekend.

He was intubated Saturday evening, and continues to receive care, but the situation is critical” “And know that we love you, and that John loves you."
