In a social media post this Friday, the 22nd, Casagrande revealed that he underwent emergency surgery after experiencing sudden abdominal pain during a physiotherapy session yesterday, the 21st, and discovered a kidney infection and a stone obstructing the urinary tract. 

The procedure performed on the drummer was successful, with the insertion of a catheter, and Eloy Casagrande was discharged to continue with physiotherapy sessions at home.
