RADIO personality Larry King is in the hospital with Covid-19.
The 87-year-old CNN interviewer is currently battling the coronavirus in the hospital, with his wife, Shawn, and two sons, Chance and Cannon, unable to visit him due to Covid-19 protocols.
King, a broadcasting legend known for his long-running visitor interview presentation in CNN, has had a bout of health risks in the past.
He’s had a heart attack, prostate and lung cancer, and Type Two diabetes, and most recently suffered a stroke this year.
In 2020, King has lost two of his adult children, including Andy, 65, whom he adopted and his daughter Chaia, 52.
Andy died on July 28 of this year from what the family said was a heart attack, and his daughter Chaia died on August 19 after succumbing to lung cancer.
King and his wife of 23 years, Shawn, although technically still legally married, are in the process of divorce. They are said to be on good terms.
In August 2019, King filed for divorce from Shawn just five months after he suffered a stroke.
He has his two sons Cannon, 20, and Chance, 21, with Shawn King, and has an older son, Larry Jr, 58, from a brief marriage to Annette Kaye.
