Smokey Robinson reveals he could have died from COVID-19. The legendary Motown singer shared that he was hospitalized last year after contracting the coronavirus and feared he would never sing again.

"I am a Covid survivor. I got it severely and I was hospitalized for 11 days, and four or five of those I do not even remember," Robinson told DailyMail.com. "It really was touch and go and a terribly debilitating ailment. I was not sure that I would ever be able to sing again because it took my voice. I could barely even talk."

Robinson admitted that the experience was "one of the most frightening fights" he's ever had. Even when he got home, he "was hoarse" and "could not try to sing because I was afraid."

"I had to work on my vocal cords and get myself back together. I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life, and it was possible, so I did it," he explained.

4. I have heard other people talk about how they had COVID in 2020 and how utterly exhausted it

made them feel and the difficulty breathing. One member of a club i belong to said he did not have the strength to lift a soup spoon to his mouth and his wife had to feed him and wipe his mouth. These revelations were from people who contracted the virus and didn't realize until after what or how bad it was and most were before the vaccine was publicly available.
