Photos: Pele celebrates leaving intensive care following colon surgery

Football legend Pele has been seen in a video singing the anthem of his old Brazilian club Santos as he celebrated leaving the intensive care unit of a Sao Paulo hospital.

The 80-year-old Brazilian was seen smiling as he accompanied visiting musicians who brought along a guitar so he could exercise his vocal chords. 

Daughter Kely Nascimento, who has been posting updates of her dad's recovery from a hospital op to remove a tumour from his colon, released the footage of him enjoying himself at a room in the Alberto Enstein Hospital in Sao Paulo. 

She wrote along the video in a direct message to fans: 'You asked for more! There's nothing better than this.'

 

Get well soon legend!
