Singer Netinho, 58, announced on Friday (11) that he will undergo a bone marrow transplant after finishing chemotherapy sessions, as part of the treatment of cancer in the lymphatic system. The interpreter of “Mila” and “I need you” revealed the diagnosis of the disease on its official website, on March 22, through the release of a medical bulletin.
