(WXYZ) — Detroit rock star Ted Nugent has tested positive for COVID-19, months after he said the virus outbreak was "not a real pandemic" and a "scam."
Nugent, in a Facebook Live video on Tuesday, announced that he had tested positive for the virus.
"I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days. I thought I was dying," Nugent said.
He later used derogatory comments when referring to the virus.
In December, Nugent said the pandemic wasn't real and called it a scam.
Nugent, in the latest Facebook video, said he had a stuffed-up head, body aches and other symptoms.
"I literally could hardly crawl out of bed the last few days," he said.
