Argentine musician Alejandro Marcovich, known for his work with Caifanes, spent his 66th birthday in a hospital bed, remaining in a medically induced coma since suffering a stroke on May 19. His daughter, Béla Marcovich, shared an emotional message on his birthday, June 3, expressing the family's love and longing for his return. "Happy birthday, Dad. We are waiting for you here to cut the cake and celebrate life together," she wrote, accompanying the message with a video montage of his life set to The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun."

Béla Marcovich's message confirmed that her father continues to be under intensive care with a reserved prognosis. While the family has maintained privacy regarding his condition, social media has seen some confusion. Alejandro Marcovich's wife, Gabriela Martínez, has actively debunked false claims of fundraising campaigns organized by individuals outside the family, stating that these efforts are fraudulent and that the artist's hospitalization costs are being managed internally. Martínez reiterated that Alejandro's neurological condition remains critical and under close observation.

The musician, who visited Guatemala in 2018 to present his book "Vida y Música," has had his health take a serious turn. The family's focus remains on his recovery, with Béla's message serving as a public display of hope and familial support during this challenging time. The situation underscores the vulnerability of public figures and the challenges families face when dealing with health crises amidst public attention.

Happy birthday, Dad. We are waiting for you here to cut the cake and celebrate life together.
