UNDATED (AP) – Jackson Browne has tested positive for COVID-19. The Rock Hall of Fame inductee is currently recuperating at his Los Angeles home. He first told Rolling Stone magazine and the news was confirmed by The Associated Press through his representatives. Browne tells Rolling Stone his symptoms are “pretty mild” and he does not require medication or hospitalization. The 71-year-old musician isn’t sure where he got it, but he suspected his recent trip to New York for the annual Love Rocks NYC benefit may have been the source. That benefit also featured Cyndi Lauper, Dave Matthews, Warren Haynes, Susan Tedeschi (teh-DES’-kee) and Derek Trucks. For most people the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, it can cause severe illness and death. The vast majority of people recover.
