Sharing a photo from his hospital bed, complete with his fingers raised in a sign of victory, Lorenzo Jovanotti says on Instagram that he underwent surgery at Humanitas in Rozzano six months after a fall on his bike.
«Today, 6 months after the fall, I had an operation to reconstruct the femur that was out of alignment and, despite all the physical therapy, the resulting biomechanical problem did not allow me to walk without crutches and there was no room for them Improvement without surgical intervention,” writes Jovanotti
“Eight hours of surgery and from today I will get back on my feet step by step and then come back to you. I would like to thank Prof. Guido Grappiolo and his team at Humanitas in Milan (more precisely Rozzano), where I was operated on and where I am now, and for the days it takes. Then I'll tell you. It's a wonderful day for me and thank you very much to everyone who has asked me for news and expressed your love over the last few months! . Starting today, we will continue on the road to recovery. It will still take the necessary time for physiotherapy and training, but the direction is towards restoring all functions.”
Then the final assurance: “In the meantime, I'm writing songs.” Many friends (from the world of music and beyond) who responded to the post and encouraged him: from Emma to Cesare Cremonini to Mara Venier.
In July 2023, Jovanotti fell off his bike while on vacation in Santo Domingo and ended up in the hospital: he announced this himself in two videos published on Tik Tok. Over the months, he had updated fans about his health until his final post on Tuesday.
