"American Idol" judge Luke Bryan spoke candidly about his journey as a COVID-19 patient. It has been over a week since Bryan revealed that he tested positive for the coronavirus. It led him to sit out of the "American Idol" judging panel to avoid the further spread of the virus. Despite missing out on its first live show, Bryan successfully scored the entertainer of the year award from the 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards. He accepted the award virtually. Aside from the new milestone, he shared some good news about his COVID-19 diagnosis and how his wife helped him to get through it.
