throat problems
The former member of Heroes del Silencio announced at the beginning of the year that he suffered
from throat problems
, and these episodes have increased, making it difficult for him to breathe.
February 14 was the first time that, due to medical prescription, the
singer canceled three concerts.
Bunbury stopped for a week and promised to find the time to resume those shows.
Two weeks later, on February 28, the singer published a statement in which he told what was happening to him.
On the "Mutaciones" tour of 2015 and 2016 and, above all, on the next one entitled "Expectaciones" that lasted from 2017 to 2019, he began to notice a discomfort that he was not able to locate.
"From the moment I leave my house and trips and shows begin, a compendium of
symptoms and pains accompany me from the morning until the moment I get on the show
. The reality is that my throat closes and irritates, and my respiratory tract makes it difficult the slightest exercise and the execution of my work," he said in the statement.
The singer maintained that what was a "pleasure and delight" had become a "
source of immense pain and suffering
" and commented that this only happened to him on tour.
Despite the point and end of the concerts, Bunbury
does not intend to retire from music
.
"Endless possibilities open up before me, in which the creative, that is, composing songs, recording albums, painting and writing poetry books, are part of my goals," he shared.
