Bean Battling COVID-19

• We are sending our most positive thoughts to Radio Hall Of Famer Gene “Bean” Baxter, who this past weekend revealed that he is now battling COVID-19 at his home in London.

As you know, Bean and his wife Donna moved back to Bean’s ancestral homeland in the UK last in December, shortly after he stepped down from his 30-year perch as co-host of the Kevin & Bean morning show on the World Famous KROQ/Los Angeles.

Over the weekend Baxter posted this update to Instagram that read, “Well, no one is more surprised than I to now have the coronavirus. Donna and I did everything ‘right,’ locked down tight at home since 9 March, only venturing out to walk the dogs and if we needed prescriptions or the odd grocery in between food deliveries. Masks, gloves, disinfectants, hand-washing, we took it seriously. Yet somehow here I am on Day Four. Mrs. Baxter is fine so far but I have about ten symptoms none of which are cute but nothing to send me to hospital either. Doctor says I’m at a critical point right now and will either start getting better or worse so fingers crossed. Thank you to the #NHSHeroes and we’ll keep you updated.”
