Grammy-winning singer and producer Babyface is revealing that he and his family were infected with the new coronavirus but have since recovered. The 62-year-old—whose real name is Kenneth Brian Edmonds—made the announcement on social media on his birthday. “I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday,” he wrote. “I tested positive for the Covid-19 virus, as did my family.
