“Now I live in a difficult and complicated phase, because here in Brazil we have done everything possible. So now my chances of healing are out of Brazil, that’s where I go. To return here healed,” he said.

The singer claimed to be determined to follow the treatments abroad in order to “play with his granddaughter, the grandchildren, see my son to be this extraordinary man who is” and fulfill the work program.

“I have a lot to do here in this life, so I refuse to accept that it has now ended for me. I still have a walk.”

“Faith, science and love”, shouted a woman in the audience. “Here, believing in science, in these new opportunities (care) outside of Brazil. I know I am a privileged woman, I have this condition to get out,” he said.

“I will do it, because I have a lot of love for life, a lot of love here. I know we have to learn to manage the finish.” At this moment, it was interrupted with the “God Bless” choir by the Auditorium. He moved.

“Here, a lot of faith in God, faith in my orisha, in my saint. Faith in life, faith in love and we go.”
