Roberto Carlos appears on the balcony after two years and celebrates his birthday

The singer Roberto Carlos returned to appear on the balcony of his building, the Golden Bay, in Urca, south of Rio de Janeiro, to celebrate his birthday close to fans. The artist’s traditional appearance was suspended in 2020 and 2021 to avoid agglomerations, because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This Tuesday (19), the singer celebrated 81 years and resumed the tradition. On the balcony of his apartment, he waved to fans in the middle of the afternoon. Among Roberto’s fans were three lookalikes who came to the venue especially for the celebration.

Last year, the singer’s team even released a statement asking fans not to stand in front of the building on the artist’s 80th birthday. “Following the guidelines of the WHO (World Health Organization) he cannot attend agglomerations, so he will not appear on the balcony as usual”, said the note, at the time.

In addition to the fans, several celebrities congratulated Roberto Carlos on this April 19th. “I’ve always loved you. And I still do. Be happy always”, said actress Vera Fischer. “Health, health and more health”, wished the presenter Luciano Huck. “Receive my tight hug, all my affection and friendship and a kiss on the heart”, said singer Daniela Mercury.

The singer Wanderléa, a friend of the singer since Jovem Guarda, said on social media that the two have the habit of celebrating their birthdays in person or through affectionate phone calls. “Roberto remains the usual friend of happy times and uncertain times. I always vibrate a lot of divine protection in his way”, she said.

At the end of 2021, after two years, Roberto Carlos returned to Globo’s end-of-year schedule with a recorded and unprecedented show. Roberto Carlos’s Natal special increased the audience of the time slot on Globo in São Paulo by 6%, compared to the average of the four previous Wednesdays. In Rio, the growth was 33%. The program aired on December 22.
