Big Daddy Weave has reached out to fans asking them to pray for their bassist Jay Weaver. Jay has currently been hospitalized as he is fighting a tough battle against COVID.

The band writes on social media, "Friends, would you please pray for Jay, his wife Emily and their children? Jay has been in the hospital for five days fighting a tough battle against Covid. Would you pray with us for complete healing for Jay and for peace for his family? We pray in the name of Jesus that it be so."

Jay's wife Emily also requests for prayers. "I am asking you all to pray for Jay. He has been in the hospital since Tuesday. He is fighting so hard. I can see it on him as I look through the window of his door. Yes, he has the awful virus. I just want my best friend/everything to get better."
