'American Idol' Judge Luke Bryan Reveals Heartwarming Secret on Fast Recovery From COVID-19
"American Idol" judge Luke Bryan spoke candidly about his journey as a COVID-19 patient.
It has been over a week since Bryan revealed that he tested positive for the coronavirus. It led him to sit out of the "American Idol" judging panel to avoid the further spread of the virus.
Despite missing out on its first live show, Bryan successfully scored the entertainer of the year award from the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards. He accepted the award virtually.
Aside from the new milestone, he shared some good news about his COVID-19 diagnosis and how his wife helped him to get through it.

In an interview with People, the 44-year-old singer expressed how fortunate he is to have his wife Caroline.
According to Bryan, he experienced a challenging couple of days since contracting the virus. Though he did not have mild symptoms, he recovered from the virus with the help of his wife.
"There were times when Caroline was nursing me back to health, so I was certainly amazed to move through that."
