Concerns for Schlesinger's health circulated the Internet early Tuesday after a fan account for a band he co-founded named Ivy claimed the musician had been placed in a medically induced coma as a result of the virus.
Schlesinger's attorney, Josh Grier, told Variety the artist is not in a coma but confirmed he is being treated at an upstate New York hospital.
