Ricky Martin is not on the announced lineup for Menudo’s 50th-anniversary return, but he has not completely closed the door on appearing during the tour. “I don’t think I’ll be there. Maybe I’ll visit one of the stages. I don’t know, I don’t know... I think that has also passed for me. I’m very grateful for what it was, but we’re in another place,” he told EFE.

Menudo announced in June that seven former members would reunite under the group’s name for a tour in the United States, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The first official reunion under the Menudo brand will begin in Los Angeles in October and conclude in San Juan in December.
René Farrait, Roy Rosselló, Raymond Acevedo, Sergio Blass, Ralphy Rodríguez, Rubén Gómez and Robert Avellanet will return to the stage to mark the group’s legacy. Martin was part of Menudo from 1984 to 1989, joining at 12 and leaving at 17.
For me, it was the beginning. It was the best school, where I sang onstage for the first time and acted for the first time. It was like my university, and it is impossible to forget.
“For me, it was the beginning. It was the best school, where I sang onstage for the first time and acted for the first time. It was like my university, and it is impossible to forget,” Martin said. He is attending the Venice Film Festival for Hombre al agua, directed by Gael García Bernal, in which Martin has a brief role as an actor. He also joked that the group should send him its merchandise because he needed the cap.
Send me the merchandise, I already need the cap. My God, what happened? You’re taking too long.
