AceShowbiz - Radiohead star Ed O'Brien fears he has become the latest celebrity to fall ill with the COVID-19 virus.
The guitarist reveals he has been suffering flu-like symptoms for a while, and his symptoms tick all the boxes for the coronavirus.
"I've lost my sense of smell and taste and it's been like a dose of flu," he tweets, insisting that he is "in good spirits and getting better".
"I haven't been tested because it's not readily available and also I think the tests are more important and valuable for the vulnerable in our community," Ed adds. "I'm expecting a full recovery and am of course self-isolating."
"Take care of yourselves and one another. Sending love and strength."
Bon Jovi keyboard player David Bryan, opera star Placido Domingo, producer Andrew Watt, and Testament rocker Chuck Billy are among the musicians who have tested positive for the coronavirus.
