Fedez hospitalized, thanks blood donors, cancels concerts and pauses activities

Italian rapper Federico Lucia, known as Fedez, was admitted to Milan’s Fatebenefratelli Hospital on 20 July 2026 after a severe gastrointestinal bleed caused by a stomach ulcer. He was later transferred to Humanitas Hospital in Rozzano for gastro‑enterology care. During his stay six anonymous blood donors provided transfusions that he says saved his life.

After being discharged, Fedez posted a reflective Instagram message thanking the donors, speaking about the preciousness of time and his fear of not seeing his family again. Doctors have advised him to rest, and he announced a temporary pause from live performances, cancelling all forthcoming shows, notably the 25 September concert at the Unipol Forum in Assago. He also confirmed an upcoming free concert in Serradifalco scheduled for 10 August 2026. The rapper is a father of three, with his third son Edoardo Lupo born on 16 July 2026 to partner Giulia Honegger.
