By Bruce Haring pmc-editorial-manager Yacht rock icon Christopher Cross announced via Facebook that he has tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus. “I’m not in the habit of discussing medical issues on social media, but I do so in the hope this will help other people to understand how serious and how contagious this illness is,” he wrote. “Although I am fortunate enough to be cared for at home, this is possibly the worst illness I’ve ever had.” Cross’s brand of soft rock was one of the dominant sounds in popular music during the late ’70s and early 1980s.

His hits Sailing and Ride Like The Wind helped him win Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist at the Grammy awards.
