Los Chikos del Maíz Cancel Concerts in Madrid Due to New Fatherhood
The popular rap group Los Chikos del Maíz has announced the cancellation of their farewell concerts scheduled for this weekend in Madrid at La Riviera. The performances, originally set for Friday, the 27th, and Saturday, the 28th, were expected to be a grand send-off for the group after an impressive year of music. However, a sudden change of plans has led to the cancellation, as one of the band members, Toni Mejías, recently became a father.
In a heartfelt statement, Mejías shared the joyful news that his partner gave birth to their first child earlier than anticipated. 'This has not only brought joy and a revolution in our home, but it also forces us to change the plans for the farewell of Los Chikos del Maíz,' he explained.
Mejías emphasized the importance of being present with his family during this special time, stating, 'My duty not only legally but especially morally is to be with the mother and the little one and to begin this adventure together.'
The band sincerely apologized for the inconvenience the cancellation may cause, particularly acknowledging the fans from outside the city who had planned to attend the shows as a final tribute to the group. 'We know that many people were coming from outside to bid farewell to the group with us,' he noted.
Despite the disappointment, Mejías reassured fans that a farewell for Los Chikos del Maíz will still take place in Madrid and that new concert dates would be announced soon. Meanwhile, ticket holders will have the option of receiving refunds.
Fans will have to wait a little longer for their chance to celebrate the band’s legacy, but the news of new life in Mejías’s family undoubtedly adds a new chapter to the story of Los Chikos del Maíz.
