Brazilian local media outlet UOL reported that it had confirmed the discovery of tumors in Bailey's liver and lungs, but did not specify the source. As of now, the Bailey team has not responded to the reporter's inquiry.
Since 2012, Bailey has been hospitalized for several health problems, including urinary tract infections, kidney stones, ureteral stones and bladder stones, as well as hip replacement surgery and lumbar spine surgery. In recent years, Bailey has reduced his public appearances for health reasons, but he is still more active on social media.
