“I’m already at home, recovering from another ‘surprise’ that life has thrown at me. My life has not been easy since December, but due to all the support that you have given me, and there has been so much of it, I do not have the right to not fight for my life, my children, for the people who love me and have supported me and, of course, the association created in the memory of my daughter Sara,” the singer wrote on his Instagram page.
He also thanked Faro Hospital, describing the staff as “wonderful”, and confirmed he will be performing as expected at Estoril Casino on July 23.
