The group Molejo released a note on their social networks in which they inform that the health condition of vocalist Anderson Leonardo remains serious. The artist was hospitalized again last Sunday (24) for treatment for inguinal cancer.
In the post, the band also criticized rumors circulated on the internet about the singer’s death. “His condition is serious, but he is alive and continues to be under medical care and monitoring. We ask everyone to continue in prayers”, says the text.
Anderson is 51 years old and since 2022 has been undergoing treatment for inguinal cancer, a rare type of tumor that affects the entire groin region. He had been hospitalized at the end of February and was discharged on March 19th. Last Sunday, however, he had to return to the hospital.
In September last year, Anderson had to be hospitalized due to a pulmonary embolism. The artist ended up staying in the Intensive Therapy Center (CTI) and was discharged days later.
