Mexican singer Alejandra Guzmán is back on stage, resuming her "Los que nos quedamos Tour" after recovering from significant health challenges that forced a year-long postponement. The tour, previously known as "Brilla Tour," has seen tickets sell out in several states, indicating strong audience demand.

More than a year ago, Guzmán announced a pause in her concerts due to medical recommendations following surgery. While rumors circulated about a relapse into alcohol addiction, the singer later revealed the true reason was a severe dorsal issue stemming from osteoporosis. She explained in an interview that the condition was exacerbated by medication she received for cancer treatment in 2010, which caused bone density loss.

The osteoporosis was due to all the medicines they gave me, for example (the medication) for cancer that they gave me in 2010, it was a pill that has the effect that radiation would have and causes osteoporosis.

Guzmán's doctor, Joel Sánchez, performed a reconstructive surgery on her spine, addressing cervical, lumbar, and sacral regions affected by osteoporosis. The singer described feeling lighter and optimistic about resuming her professional commitments. She made her return to the stage on August 1st in Tijuana, marking a successful comeback.

Currently, Guzmán is diligently preparing for her upcoming performances. She has been sharing videos on her Instagram account showcasing rigorous dance and exercise routines, demonstrating her commitment to delivering a high-energy show alongside her accompanying dancers. The successful ticket sales reflect the public's enthusiasm for her return to touring.

The doctor who cured me rebuilt my spine; new cervicals, new lumbars, new sacrums, it was full of osteoporosis.
