The 56-year-old rocker has revealed he had the “ugly” respiratory illness for a second time in November and was hospitalised on December 1, after it “kind of” progressed into pneumonia.<\/p>\n

Sharing his symptoms, he told ‘STROMBO’ on Apple Music Hits: “Ugly, ugly. Couldn’t breathe. I could barely put two words together without going into a coughing fit that, you know? It ended up kind of also progressing into pneumonia. So, if I stayed in the hospital, they said, ‘Okay, we can keep you here, but you’re fighting 12 other people for a bed and a ventilator we don’t have, so what do you want to do?’ I’m like, ‘Well, I need to breathe and I need to sleep.’ So, you’re just treating symptoms at that point. There’s nothing you can do other than treat the symptom, so for a real cough medicine, not the c*** over-the-counter and then like an inhaler, and some antibiotics to fight the pneumonia and strap the f*** in.”<\/p>\n

The ‘Third Eye’ star first had coronavirus in October.<\/p>\n

He said at the time: “I’m still dealing with the residual effects. But it was ugly. I survived it, but it wasn’t pretty. So I definitely had to deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maynard previously implored everyone to take the pandemic \u201cseriously” and wear face masks and social distance in order to help flatten the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

He said: “I knew what I went through and I know what I’m still going through, so I would recommend that you take this seriously, but I feel like that’s just going to fall on deaf ears. It’s just going to be a polarized, politicised statement, so it’s pointless. In that case, I’m just going to worry about keeping my family safe and keeping my friends safe.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
