Several stars, including legendary songwriter John Prine, broadway actor Nick Cordero, playwright Terrance McNally and Fountains of Wayne musician Adam Schlesinger, have died as a result of complications caused by coronavirus. Gibson was at the centre of a controversy last month, when actor Winona Ryder alleged that Gibson referred to her as an “oven dodger”, in an anti-semitic reference to her Jewish heritage.
