Will.I.Am makes 'The Voice' final despite battling illness

Black Eyed Peas Star Will.I.Am managed to pull through and make an appearance on the UK's "The Voice" final, despite fighting an illness just days earlier.

The 40-year-old rapper, who is a judge on the British talent show, was determined not to miss the last show even though he is currently on medication for a bronchial infection, reported Daily Star.

"I'm ill.I.Am right now. I got a cold and it turned into something worse. It's really bad. I normally don't take medicine but I had to.

"I'm on vitamin C and fruit and hot tea and stuff like that. And I'm sleeping. It's tough to take... I know my condition could affect my performance. That's the sad part of it all," he said.
