Ely Buendia’s operation successful

0 Comments

Some of you don’t know this but I’m an avid fan of Ely Buendia. So it was a relief knowing that his 3rd angioplasty was a success. (In 2007, Ely also suffered a heart attack while his new band Pupil was performing in Laguna. He underwent two angioplasty procedures at the PHC.)

Anyway, according to Ely’s manager, Day Cabuhat, “Ely is now ’100 percent fully-restored’ after doctors at the Philippine Heart Center operated his clogged blood vessel.” However, Ely needs to stay in hospital for two more weeks for a cardiac rehabilitation.

I hope he fully recover soon… I heard there will be a part two of the Reunion concert.

Eheads reunion concert cut short; Ely Buendia rushed to the hospital

2 Comments

The much awaited concert of the Eraserheads was cut short when the lead vocalist Ely Buendia suffered chest pain.

The Eheads opened the concert at 8:15 p.m. with their hit song “Alapaap” and proceeded to play classics such as “Ligaya,” “Wag Mo Nang Itanong,” “Fruitcake,” among others. More than 10 songs were played to eager fans at The Fort

Around 9:30 p.m., the band took a 30-minute break. Forty minutes later, Buendia’s sister went up to the stage to break the sad news.

According to some fans, Buendia stopped playing his guitar in the middle of the reunion concert. They said the lead singer sat on the floor and bowed his head. Then the stage lights went out.

Ely was rushed to the Makati Medical Center, where he was reported to be in stable condition.

I was searching online about the much awaited Eraserheads Reunion Concert, however, what I saw was very shocking. Ely Buendia’s mom died yesterday morning.

Below is a message from Jim Ayson to the CIRCUS Yahoo! Groups…

Hi guys – I got a message from Sancho saying Ely’s mom died this morning – went into a cardiac arrest after surgery. The guy is in grief so prayers, condolences for the man might be in order to give him strength and solace. Those of you who have lost parents know what I mean.

Condolence to Ely and to his family

But according to TV Patrol, the concert will push through. Though the concert will not for free anymore because Philip Morris backed out from sponsoring the concert due to violation of:

RA9211 – An Act Regulating The Packaging, Use, Sale Distribution and Advertisements of Tobacco Products and for Other Purposes

Now, the reunion concert tickets is FOR SALE through Ticketworld.

Francis Magalona diagnosed with leukemia

1 Comment

This is a shocking news to me, after Ely Buendia had heart attack. Now, it’s the Master Rapper. Francis M. has been diagnosed with leukemia and urgently in need of blood donations.

Francis M. is currently at the Medical City Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City. The doctors said it is curable, but they need blood donations to replace the supply that he has consumed in the hospital. Donations may be made at the lower ground level of The Medical City in the name of Francis Magalona.

Lets’ pray for Francis M.
