Singer Jeremih Discharged From Hospital Following COVID-19 Battle

Jeremih, who was hospitalized due to complications caused by COVID-19, has been released from the hospital after the life-threatening disease left him struggling in an intensive care unit (ICU) last month.

The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is Jeremy Felton, issued a statement after leaving the facility and expressed gratitude toward the doctors and nurses at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital who saved his life, Billboard has learned. The singer also noted that he is “overwhelmed” by the support he has been receiving since his diagnosis.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank God and the incredible team of doctors and nurses at Northwestern Memorial Hospital for saving my life. I will be forever grateful. I would also like to thank my family and friends for all their prayers and well wishes. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude,” Jeremih said in the statement.

The “Planez” hitmaker also thanked his fellow artists such as Chance The Rapper, Diddy, and 50 Cent for their support. Jeremih assured his fans that he is in recovery mode and is “getting stronger” with each day passing.

“A special thanks to Chance The Rapper, 50 Cent, and Diddy for their love and support. I would also like to thank all my fans and people around the world who prayed for me. I’m getting stronger every day, and look forward to spending time with my sons,” the singer concluded.

All the aforementioned artists shared messages of support on social media when Jeremih was still in the ICU, saying they were praying for his recovery.

The singer was taken to the hospital and admitted to the ICU, where he was put on a ventilator for a few days. At the time, his family issued a statement saying that the virus has attacked his body viciously and made it harder for him to breathe properly.

“The COVID-19 condition he's experiencing is rare for a young man his age without underlying conditions . His family would like to remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly,” his family said at the time.

As far as the virus is concerned, the U.S. witnessed 173,861 cases and 1,076 deaths in the last 24 hours, taking the country’s tally to over 15 million COVID-19 cases.

The nation has also seen 288,906 deaths so far.
