Witch on the loose: Just like Faustão, remember 20 celebrities who were hospitalized in 2023

The witch seems to be on the loose among the famous. This year, comings and goings to the hospital have been frequent among public figures. Some caused great impact and concern among fans, while others broke the bubble and became national issues.

It was the case of the heart transplant of Fausto Silva, 73, last Sunday (27). On social networks, many people commented and even doubted the agility with which the presenter managed to get a donor, which served as a hook for many to discover how the SUS queue works.

While Faustão is recovering from surgery, funk singer MC Marcinho, 45, was not so lucky. The musician had a widespread infection and has just been removed from the transplant waiting list. He ended up dying on Saturday (26).

Cancer was also the reason for some artists to receive medical treatment, such as singers Preta Gil, 49, and Simony, 47. The former had a successful operation to remove a tumor in her rectum. The former Balloon Magician celebrated the end of treatment for a tumor in the intestine.

The year has also reserved health-related scares for some celebrities. Sidney Magal, 73, for example, fell ill during a show in the interior of SP and went straight to the hospital in May. Something similar happened to singer Compadre Washington, 61, who in June, after feeling pain in his abdomen, was hospitalized in Bahia. Both were discharged a few days later.
