Country music star Chris Lane had some “Big, Big, Plans” for his son Dutton’s first Christmas, until he fell ill with the Coronavirus. The hitmaker has vocalized his road to recovery, as he still feels fatigued.
After wrapping a few West Coast shows on his Fill Them Boots tour, the singer took to Instagram to share that he is “a little tired” but confirmed that he would be “ready to rock this weekend” with openers Lily Rose, ERNEST, and Tyler Rich.
The vaccinated 37-year-old previously spoke to PEOPLE about his fight against COVID-19 over the holidays and touched upon what it was like to take care of his newborn son during those challenging times.
“It was kind of strange,” Lane told the publication about his early symptoms. “I woke up In the morning, and I didn’t feel sick, but I had some crazy back pain. And then a couple of hours after that, my whole body started feeling super achy,” he added.
After feeling under the weather, Lane took it upon himself to protect his family and others by taking multiple coronavirus tests – before moving forward with his everyday duties. The singer said he tested negative twice before he received his first positive result.
He continued to reveal that the body aches were the side effect that slowed him down the most, and declared that he luckily did not experience any other symptoms besides a cold towards the very end.
“The body aches and back pain was really the worst part,” he said. “And then, at the very end, I got a little congested, but that went away a couple of days later.”
While overcoming the virus, he told PEOPLE that he managed to stay far away from his wife, Lauren Bushnell, and son Dutton. He confirmed that he refused to hold his 8-month-old baby before obtaining numerous negative results.
