Nick Cordero, who originated the role of Sonny in the 2016 Broadway production of “A Bronx Tale: A Musical,” is set to have his right leg amputated due to complications stemming from his ongoing battle with COVID-19, his wife Amanda Kloots said on Saturday.
Cordero has been sedated and in the intensive care unit for 18 days while sick from the novel coronavirus. He was hospitalized late last month after showing symptoms of COVID-19.
“We got some difficult news yesterday. Basically, we’ve had difficulties in his right leg with clotting and getting blood down to his toes and it just isn’t happening with surgery and everything,” Kloots said in an Instagram story on Saturday.
