Bebe Rexha, who has a new song inspired by graduating students called Here’s to 2020, has been far from her family during this time. She explained to  Extra  that her parents both contracted coronavirus, which made her want to drive from L.A. to them in NYC. “They were so adamant about not having my brother and I there, but finally they got better,” she said. “Finally they can taste food again. I’m really grateful. “I am happy that New York is getting into a much better spot and the East Coast is starting to see the light.”
