Even at an advanced age, the singer still regularly appears on stage. But now there is bad news: Bata suffered a broken hip and had to undergo emergency surgery.
As Bild reports, the musician tripped over the edge of a carpet in his house and then fell so badly that he broke his hip and had to undergo immediate surgery. “The pain was unbearable!” reports Bata in an interview with the newspaper. The artist is now doing well given the circumstances. The operation went very well. He wants to start rehab in the next few days.
