Gustavo Cerati - "Fuerza Natural"/ hospitalized :(

[Juanca]

While checking Latin music from the past year, I not only discovered great material, but also sad news...

Let's start with the good news.
Gustavo Cerati, the most iconic South American rock figure of the past 30 years, recorded a new album last year, continuing with his adventure in electro-pop sounds.
The album called "Fuerza Natural" has produced 2 singles so far: "Deja Vu" and "Rapto". The videos (another area where Gustavo has excelled) are supposed to build a (somewhat weird) storyline.
The music is good (leaning a bit more towards the commercial side, but good anyway) and the videos too. HOT women by the way

Deja Vu

Rapto


After reading the posts in YouTube, I noticed that posters were wishing Gustavo Cerati well and to "wake up". That didn't sound write to me...

Billboard has these awful news on its website:
Physical exams revealed "extensive brain damage. The patient is unconscious. He breaths on his own, but still requires respiratory assistance," read a statement from FLENI's Medical Director, published on Cerati's website. According to the site, a brain CatScan showed an extensive stroke on the artist's left cerebral hemisphere.

Shit!
I hope he recovers. He is 50 years old, but has soooo much left to give to music. Michael Jackson left last year, Gustavo cannot "leave" the musical scene like this now. Prayers for a great artist :( :'( :'(

Yeah, very sad. It was all over the news in Lima when I was over there a month ago. This is the latest news from cerati.com:

"PARTE MEDICO 15/06


A treinta días de sufrir un accidente cerebrovascular extenso, con daño severo en hemisferio cerebral izquierdo y tronco cerebral, los exámenes neurológicos practicados con el fin de observar respuesta a estímulos sensitivos y motores no han mostrado, hasta el momento, evolución favorable alguna.
Al día de hoy, el paciente continúa inconsciente y con apoyo de asistencia mecánica respiratoria.
Se ofrecerán nuevos partes médicos cuando haya cambios significativos en su situación.

Cordialmente,

Dr. Claudio E. Pensa
Director Médico
​FLENI"

Only 50. I hope somehow he recovers. Such an important element in the history of Latin Rock. I still remember the days of the Soda Stereo fever in the 80s when I had a chance to see them live. Good memories.
