    Suzi Quatro battled coronavirus earlier this year, and say she’s “never felt anything like it”

    The 70-year-old singer has revealed she tested positive for the illness earlier this year, and described the experience as feeling as though someone had “hit her over the head with a sledgehammer”


    She told BBC Radio 2: “I’ve never felt anything like it. It's like somebody came into my room and hit me over the head with a sledgehammer.”

    Suzi also said the virus took “every bit of energy” that she has, as she ended up sleeping for 18 hours a day for the first few days of her health battle.

    She added: “I'm just this side of hyper, if not hyper, and I slept 18 out of 24 hours for the first five days and I had to get up for two naps per day.”

    The ‘Stumblin’ In’ musician said she even suffered from the loss of taste symptom that many coronavirus sufferers have experienced, which left her without an appetite.

    She said: “I didn't have any appetite, my coffee tasted metallic, I didn't have my usual breakfast champagne because I didn't fancy it, which is another surprise for me.”

    And Suzi said she was initially reluctant to talk about her health battle, but decided to come forward as she wants put a stop to the people who don’t take the virus seriously.

    She explained: “I was reluctant to even talk about this because it's just not my style to make public private anguish. [But I thought it] would help others who maybe are pooh-poohing this and making little of it. It is not happily that I talk about it.”

    The news comes after fellow celebrities including Idris Elba, Tom Hanks, and Pink have all come forward with their experiences with the global health crisis after they too tested positive.
