Pop star Bata Illic, aged 84, shares his harrowing experience of a home accident that left him with a broken hip and the need for surgery. The unfortunate incident has put a halt to his planned tour.
Currently recuperating at Munich-PasingHospital, Illic is in good spirits considering the circumstances. He assures that the operation went smoothly and he is being well looked after by the dedicated medical team and caring nursing staff. His start in rehabilitation is scheduled for just two days after his hospital stay. Despite the disappointment, he expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming support and messages of sympathy from his fans on his Facebook page.
The accident occurred with Bata Illic's wife Olga, his partner since 1963, present on the first floor of their Gräfelfing residence. Upon arrival of the medical responders, he was still in immense pain.

As Illic navigates his road to recovery, renowned musicians like Mark Pittelkau from Serbia and Munich's hip hop scene have shared messages of support on his Facebook page. Among the heartfelt well-wishes, a moving text-to-speech message from local Munich resident Mutius Franziska also reached him, expressing hopes for his swift recovery.
