Tony Bellotto hospitalized and temporarily stepping away from Titãs
Tony Bellotto, the 66-year-old guitarist for the Brazilian rock band Titãs, has been hospitalized in Rio de Janeiro following a clinical occurrence. Due to medical recommendations for rest and observation, the musician has been forced to cancel professional commitments and will temporarily step away from the stage.
The band confirmed that their scheduled performance in São José dos Campos will proceed without him, featuring members Sérgio Britto, Branco Mello, Beto Lee, Mario Fabre, and Alexandre de Orio. While the specific nature of the current medical issue has not been disclosed, oncologist Fernanda Caparelli, who manages his care, stated that he is doing well but requires continued monitoring.
This health setback follows a significant medical history for Bellotto, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2025. Despite the current hospitalization, the band’s 40th-anniversary tour for the album “Cabeça Dinossauro” remains confirmed through February 2027.
