Rocker Ted Nugent Announces He Has COVID on Facebook Live

(Undated) — Ted Nugent says he tested positive for COVID-19.

The rock legend, who lives on a 300 acre ranch near Waco, took to Facebook Live to disclose the concerning news about his health. After more than a year of downplaying the severity of the novel coronavirus, Nugent explained that he’s been in bad shape for over a week with coronavirus symptoms. He said he had flu-like symptoms and felt like he was dying. He added that he’s suffering from a “stuffed up head,” “body aches” and severe fatigue.

The 72-year-old Nugent had not received the vaccine, saying that the “unknown” contents of the needle scare him more than the virus, which has been blamed for well over half a million deaths in the U.S.
