During a Caifanes concert in León, Guanajuato, frontman Saúl Hernández paused to send heartfelt wishes to former bandmate Alejandro Marcovich, who is currently hospitalized. Hernández shared that he has been praying for the guitarist's swift recovery.

The rock band performed for over 10,000 fans at the Velaria de la Feria, marking their first show since Marcovich's family announced his health struggles. Hernández, who has known Marcovich since their preparatory school days, addressed the crowd on behalf of the current band members: Alfonso André, Diego Herrera, Marco Rentería, and Rodrigo Baills.

"We want to take this opportunity, on behalf of the entire group, to send a very affectionate hug, with much love, much light, and all the best to Alejandro Marcovich," Hernández stated. "He had a relapse, and we wish him, with all our love, from the bottom of our hearts, a speedy recovery. In God's name, we send him many prayers and much love."

Fans responded with applause and cheers. The band also played two songs, "Afuera" and "Aquí no es así," where Marcovich played a significant role in composition, including guitar solos. These were dedicated to his eldest daughter upon her birth. Marcovich was a member of Caifanes from 1989 until 1995, contributing to albums like "Volumen II (El diablito)". Before Caifanes, he, Hernández, and André were part of another group called Las insólitas imágenes de Aurora.
