Dedé Santana returns to the stage after hospitalization in Goiânia
Humorist Dedé Santana, 89, has resumed his performances after being hospitalized for blood pressure fluctuations in Goiânia.
Humorist Dedé Santana, at the age of 89, made a comeback to the stage after a brief hospitalization in Goiânia due to fluctuations in his blood pressure. He had been admitted to the Hospital Estadual de Urgências Governador Otávio Lage de Siqueira after feeling unwell on the morning of January 20. The decision to take him to the hospital was made by the production team of his show for precautionary reasons, aiming to conduct necessary medical examinations.
On the same evening of his hospitalization, Santana was discharged and sought to reassure his fans through a video posted on social media. In the video, he explained the situation by stating, "I had a fluctuation in blood pressure, went to the hospital, and took the opportunity to undergo all the examinations. I am doing well now and will rest because I have to work tomorrow." His determination to return to work highlights not only his passion for performance but also his resilience at an advanced age.
Dedé Santana is known for his lengthy career in Brazilian comedy, notably as part of the iconic group 'Os Trapalhões.' His return to the circus show in Goiânia, alongside gymnast Diego Hypolito, marks a significant moment for fans who have followed his journey over the decades. Given his recent health scare, this comeback also reflects the enduring spirit of artists who continue to engage with their audiences, even in the face of personal health challenges.
