The 52-year-old Emmy, Grammy winner, and Oscars, Tonys nominee is also known as a founding member of the indie-pop bands Ivy and Tinted Windows. According to an Ivy fan Twitter page, Schlesinger was in a medically induced coma following a COVID-19 infection.
The tweet read, “Sad news friends. Adam Schlesinger who is 52 years old from Ivy and the Fountains of Wayne has been on a ventilator for 2 weeks (and is in a medically induced coma) because of COVID-19. We send our prayers to him, his family, and his doctors.”
However, his attorney of 25 years, Josh Grier denied the claims. He told the Variety, “He’s very sick and is heavily sedated, as are all people on ventilators, but no one has used the word ‘coma’ to me. Adam Schlesinger has been receiving medical care in an upstate New York hospital for more than a week.
