Henrique Undergoes Emergency Inguinal Hernia Surgery and Cancels Two Shows

Overview

• The singer felt intense groin pain during a Petrolina performance and traveled to Goiânia, where doctors recommended immediate surgery that was performed on June 28.
• Hospital staff carried out a herniorrhaphia inguinal bilateral to repair hernias on both sides of the groin and Henrique left the hospital after recovery for home rest.
• Shows scheduled for July 3 in Porto Velho and July 4 in Ji-Paraná were canceled and the duo's team said organizers will be fully reimbursed while ticket-holders should contact local production for refunds.
• Henrique will remain off-stage until a July 8 medical reassessment determines the timing of his return, which leaves July 10 and 11 dates in São Paulo and Ceará conditional on that clearance.
• Fans reacted strongly online, including a viral story about a fan who tattooed the show date before the cancellation, and event teams are working to replace or reprogram acts for the affected events.
