According to the column LeoDias, Singer Preta Gil, who is being treated for cancer, had to cancel her performance at Rock the Mountain, a festival taking place in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, from November 6 to 17.
The news of his absence from the event aroused concern and curiosity among fans, who immediately noticed the lack of his name in the official line-up released by the festival.
The festival organisation, after noticing questions from followers on social media, confirmed the cancellation of Preta Gil’s show. In a statement, the event’s production team expressed their desire to include the singer in a future edition, saying: “Postponed once again, hopefully we can count on it soon“.
Shortly after the cancellation was confirmed, Preta Gil took to her social networks and the press office sent a statement to the media, explaining the reason for her absence. According to the note, the singer continues to undergo rounds of chemotherapy due to the cancer returning in four different places on her body.
Oncology treatment, which began as early as 2023, requires Preta Gil to follow medical guidelines, which prevents her from performing at this time.
Preta Gil was diagnosed with bowel cancer in early 2023, when she underwent surgery and began chemotherapy treatment. After overcoming the illness, the singer celebrated her recovery and returned to the stage with enthusiasm, participating in events and resuming her professional projects, such as the Carnival.
However, during a routine exam this year, the singer was surprised by the news that the cancer had returned and had spread to other parts of her body.
Preta Gil shares his struggle with fans
In her fight against cancer, Preta Gil has been transparent and courageous, sharing with her followers the challenges she faced during treatment. Recently, speaking about her battle, she appeared stronger and more determined, expressing gratitude for life and optimism for her recovery.
“I am a stronger black man in many ways and today I have an even greater thirst for life. I think that this time on the one hand it could be even more difficult, but I will face it with even more dignity and courage“he said in an interview with the program Fantastic.
Importantly, last year, Preta Gil also had to cancel his participation in Rock the Mountain due to treatment. However, he surprised the audience by appearing on stage at the last minute, moving fans with his presence.
This year the decision to cancel the presentation was made on medical advice, due to the need to continue intensive care.
Preta Gil continues to receive support from his fans and fellow professionals, who have shown solidarity and affection during this difficult time. The singer, who has always been admired for her strength and joy, remains steadfast in her journey of overcoming, being an inspiration to all who follow her.
