“J was just pulled off the ventilator,” his agent reported to Variety on Thursday, November 19. “He’s still in ICU in critical condition. Please keep him in your prayers.”
The singer's family made a statement as well, just a day earlier, telling CNN they "would like to remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly.

There’s no shame in contracting COVID-19, and people that have it need to be responsible and considerate of others.”
