“Christmas Eve and Christmas will be spent in the hospital”

Raphael, at 81 years old, remains admitted to the 12 de Octubre Hospital after the scare he suffered last Tuesday, December 17, while recording a Christmas special for The Revolt from TVE. Although the singer is feeling well and is looking forward to returning home with his family to celebrate Christmas, his son Jacobo Martos confirmed this Monday at the doors of the medical center that this will not be the case.

“They have been doing tests on him”explained Toni Acosta’s ex-husband. “What I can tell you is that it will happen here tomorrow and the next day and from Thursday we will see if there are more tests or not, but on Thursday the doctors will decide if it will leave on Thursday, Friday… But Christmas Eve and Christmas will be spent here“he insisted.

Regarding how the singer is feeling, he has indicated that “He is waiting like yesterday, like the day before yesterday, for them to let him out and that’s it”. And he added: “But come on, what Spending these days here is no drama and we are all very calm. “My mother is very well and so are we, you already see me very calm.”

Regarding the cancellation of the two concerts that the singer had planned this past weekend at the Wizink Center in Madrid, he assured: “He has already overcome the cancellation of his concerts, it bothered him at first but in the end it is the least of it. In the end it is that he is fine, that when he goes home he is perfect and that well, that is when the doctors say so and that’s it.”

Appreciating the “wonderful” treatment that Raphael is receiving in the Public Health Service, and highlighting that “we have to be proud of this”, Jacobo also spoke about the medical tests: “I don’t understand medicine. One day it’s an MRI, another day it’s I don’t know what… I can’t tell you anything either”.

And he has stated: “I mean, I think that for that there will have to be a medical statement at the time that explains everything they have done. But well, the important thing is that he too, because of the history that he has as a doctor, well, they will have to be very sure that it is okay and not send him home so that he can return the next day“he explained.

It must be remembered that the interpreter of my big night began to feel unwell during the recording of the special The Revolt and that was when he left the Príncipe Gran Vía Theater on his own foot, until he is attended to by the emergency services at the doors of the place.

He was immediately transferred to the Clinical Hospital and on Wednesday afternoon, after the family requested it voluntarily, he was transferred to October 12, where he continues to undergo different tests in these very different and difficult Christmases for him and his family. . Both his three children (Jacobo is joined by Manuel and Alejandra) and Natalia Figueroa, his wife, we have seen these days with worried faces at the doors of the hospital center, in accordance with the circumstances, especially in the first hours and days of your income. After almost a week, there is greater peace and hope because the tests will end soon and the man from Linares can return home.
