Bon Jovi keyboardist and founding member David Bryan revealed on March 21st that he tested positive for coronavirus.

David started to feel sick when he was home in New Jersey on March 15th. "The first symptoms were flu-like, with a low level fever around 100 with body aches and headaches, and soon after, the body aches made it difficult to get out of bed," Bryan told to Variety.

On March 18th the Tony Award-winning musician realized that the pain has moved onto his lungs and that he needed to seek medical help.

Two days later, Bryan was informed that he tested positive and was immediately prescribed antibiotics.

Currently Bryan is recovering well and is in self-isolation with his wife, Alexis who also tested positive but did not display any of the same symptoms except for a "slight headache for a couple of days."

The musician shared his story on Instagram stating that the virus was "the flu, not the plague."  He also encouraged everyone to practice social distancing to avoid spreading it to others.

I just got my results back today and tested positive for corona virus. I've been sick for a week and feeling better each day. Please don't be afraid!!! It's the flu not the plague. I've have been quarantined for a week and will for another week. And when I feel better I'll get tested again to make sure I'm free of this nasty virus. Please help out each other. This will be over soon... with the help of every American !!??❤️
