Tony Bellotto hospitalized following medical complication

Tony Bellotto, the 66-year-old guitarist for the Brazilian rock band Titãs, has been hospitalized in Rio de Janeiro following a clinical complication. The musician, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2025, is currently under medical observation.

Due to medical recommendations, Bellotto has withdrawn from several professional commitments, including a scheduled lecture at the Brazilian Society of Clinical Oncology (SBOC) congress and an upcoming Titãs performance in São José dos Campos. His oncologist, Fernanda Caparelli, stated that while he is doing well, he will be transferred to the Sírio-Libanês Hospital in São Paulo for continued care.

Bellotto previously underwent surgery to remove a tumor and completed chemotherapy sessions. In recent interviews, he has spoken openly about his diagnosis, noting how the experience has shifted his perspective on life and his desire to focus on music and daily activities while continuing medical follow-ups.
