A Great Big World Singer Tried To Conceal The Effects Of His MS. Now He's Done Hiding.

Summary: Chad King, a singer from the Grammy-winning pop duo A Great Big World, is opening up about his battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He was diagnosed in 2007 but hid his symptoms while his music career took off. MS attacks the central nervous system, causing weakness, fatigue, and trouble walking.

During the pandemic, his symptoms got worse. He lost strength in his left hand and now uses a walking aid. Today, he is done hiding. He is releasing a solo EP called "The Road Ahead" and gets support from actress Christina Applegate, who also has MS. King says his body may change, but his spirit is stronger than ever.
