A close friend of renowned Mexican guitarist Alejandro Marcovich has urged the public to curb the spread of rumors regarding his health, stating that the musician is "delicate but alive" following a stroke.
Alejandro Marcovich is indeed delicate but he is alive, my direct source is Alejandro's family.
Gabriel "Gasรบ" Rosales Siqueiros, a fellow musician and longtime friend, shared a video on social media emphasizing that his information comes directly from Marcovich's family. He implored fans to focus their energy on wishing for the musician's recovery rather than disseminating alarmist or unfounded information for online engagement.
Marcovich's family officially confirmed on Friday that the former Caifanes guitarist suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on Tuesday, May 19. He was urgently transferred to an undisclosed hospital and is currently in a coma in intensive care with a reserved prognosis. The family stated he is under the care of specialists, accompanied by his wife and two children.
I invite you please, with all your love and good vibes, to think that Alejandro can recover soon... and if the family doesn't release a statement, then everything else you are reading on social media is unfounded; focus on sending love and good vibes to Alejandro.
This health emergency explains Marcovich's inability to attend upcoming scheduled concerts, including a performance on June 26 in Puebla. The family expressed gratitude for the prayers and support received from fans, who have flooded social media with messages of encouragement, remembering him as a guitar mentor and a significant figure in Mexican rock.
The musician is in a coma in the intensive care unit, with a reserved prognosis. He is in the good hands of specialist doctors alongside his wife and two children.
