Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who had been hospitalized for three months and had his leg amputated after contracting the coronavirus, has died, his wife, Amanda Kloots, said Sunday.
"He was surrounded in love by his family, singing and praying as he gently left this earth.".
She described to Gayle King how hard it was for her that she couldn't do more than hold his hand.
Kloots, a former Broadway dancer who is now a celebrity trainer, has been using her Instagram account to post updates on Cordero's condition.
Cordero starred in the musical adaptation of the Woody Allen film "Bullets Over Broadway" in 2014, for which he earned a Tony nomination.
He had also appeared previously on Broadway in "Rock of Ages," "Waitress" and "A Bronx Tale: The Musical.".
Throughout his battle with COVID-19, Kloots encouraged fans to sing Cordero's song "Live Your Life" daily at 3 p.m. »
