(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 06 - "The doctors have unfortunately communicated to us that Michele's condition is getting worse every hour".
This was announced, through their consultants, by the family of Michele Merlo, 28, a former competitor of XFactor and Amici, hospitalized in the reanimation ward of the Maggiore Hospital in Bologna after being hit, on the night between Thursday and Friday, by a celebral haemorrhage caused by fulminant leukemia.
The young man underwent emergency surgery, but his conditions immediately appeared serious.
"Michele - explains the family in a note - felt cursed for days and on Wednesday he went to the emergency room of another hospital in the Bologna area which, probably, mistaking the symptoms described for a different, banal viral form, had sent him home. the intervention requested in the emergency room, on Thursday evening, it seems that at the moment the seriousness of the situation was not immediately clear ".
The singer's family members, however, are keen to "categorically deny what some uninformed people write on social media: Michele was in no way vaccinated against Covid.
Michele was struck by a severe form of
lightning
leukemia with subsequent cerebral hemorrhage".
The pain of the fans has invaded the social networks and many colleagues, from Emma Marrone to Francesco Facchinetti to Ermal Meta, from FedericoRossi (of the duo Benji & Fede) and Aka7even, competitor of the last edition of Amici, have posted messages of affection and encouragement for Michele. "Come on Mike, we're with you!", He reads on Amici's Twitter profile. (HANDLE).
