Spanish singer Raphael is expected to be discharged from Hospital 12 de Octubre on Friday, December 29, according to updates from his family. Raphael has been diagnosed with a primary brain lymphoma, which is currently being treated. His medical team has confirmed that he is responding well to treatment, and his son Jacobo stated, "Está muy bien" (He is doing well). Raphael has been hospitalized since December 17 following an incident that was initially thought to be a cerebrovascular episode, which has since been ruled out. Due to his health condition, he has canceled his international tour, including nine concerts planned for early 2025. The lymphoma diagnosis has raised concerns, as it is linked to immunosuppression, particularly in patients who have undergone organ transplants. The singer is 81 years old and has received treatment for two nodules located in the left hemisphere of his brain.
