US singer Jeremih has posted his first photo since becoming seriously ill with Covid-19.

The 33-year-old is now recovering at home following several weeks spent in a Chicago hospital with the virus, where he was reportedly in intensive care on a ventilator.

Updating his fans on social media, he shared two images on Instagram on Wednesday (9 December).  

In one picture, he can be seen lying down in a hospital gown with a bandage on his neck.

In the second photo, he appears to be having his hair styled.

"THANK GOD IM STILL HERE," he captioned the post. "THANK YA’LL FOR THE [prayers] UP."

He added: "#imbackkkk."

Fans celebrated the news in the comments, with one writing: "So happy to see ur doing well."

More than 15 million people have been infected with Covid in the US and 289,529 people have died – the highest figures of any country in the world.
