Personal life

On February 9, 2020, Luker announced that she was suffering fromamyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), having been diagnosed in late 2019.[29][30] In June 2020, she could still sing, as she hosted a livestreamed benefit for ALS.[31] However, by October, the disease had progressed to the point where she had "no diaphragm" and thus could not speak loudly. She had been in a wheelchair for seven months at the time.[32]
In April 2020, Burstein contractedCOVID-19 (along with several other cast members ofMoulin Rouge!, in which he was starring). He was hospitalized atSt. Luke's in Manhattan and recovered. Following his ordeal, Burstein wrote an account of it that was published inThe Hollywood Reporter. Toward the end of that article, Burstein wrote, "while I'm getting better, Rebecca has started dealing with the virus as well now. She's not been tested, but has all the symptoms to varying degrees. We are monitoring her closely."[33] Luker ultimately had a much milder case than her husband.[32]
Luker died of ALS at a hospital in Manhattan on December 23, 2020, at age 59.[34][35]
