Spanish Singer Raphael Is Undergoing Brain Cancer Treatment, Pauses International Tour

Spanish singer Rafael has been diagnosed with brain cancer and has paused his international tour.

The musician’s medical team also noted in its report that Raphael has “two brain nodules in the left hemisphere that justify the neurological symptoms he presented a few days ago.” The singer’s management office issued a statement on Thursday (Dec. 26) announcing the cancellation of Raphael’s concerts for his Victoria 2025 tour planned for the early months of 2025, which included stops in the United States, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Mexico. According to the statement shared with Billboard Español, this decision was made following the doctors’ recommendation for a prolonged period of rest while Raphael undergoes outpatient treatment.
