Roberto Carlos to Undergo Planned Gallbladder Surgery

Overview

• Roberto Carlos's team announced Wednesday that the 85-year-old singer will have a previously scheduled gallbladder removal by videolaparoscopy.
• Videolaparoscopy uses small abdominal incisions with a camera and instruments and typically causes less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery than open surgery.
• The artist's assessors said he is calm and following medical guidance and the statement was signed by Mauricio Aires and Rogério Alves, who thanked fans for their support.
• The team expects a swift recovery that should not affect upcoming performances, including a show reported for August 15 at Quali Stage in Barra da Tijuca.
• Roberto Carlos is a long‑established Brazilian star and the story is based on his official communiqué, so observers should look for post‑operative updates from his team for any change to timing or plans.
