Roberto Iniesta Robe Cancels Upcoming Madrid Concerts Due to Health Concerns
Roberto Iniesta Robe, the former lead singer of the iconic Spanish rock band Extremoduro, has announced the cancellation of his two upcoming concerts scheduled in Madrid this weekend. The news comes after the artist was diagnosed with a pulmonary thromboembolism, a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention and rest.
The concerts, originally set for this Friday night and Saturday, the 16th, were part of his latest tour "Ni santos ni inocentes," aimed at promoting his recent album, "Se nos lleva el aire." In a statement released on his official website, the 62-year-old Extremaduran artist expressed his disappointment over the cancellations but emphasized the importance of prioritizing his health.
The statement read, "We are devastated that we cannot complete this wonderful tour as we had planned, but we are not going to put Robe's health at risk for anything in the world." Fans who purchased tickets can expect automatic refunds to be processed over the next week, according to the artist’s team.
A pulmonary thromboembolism occurs when a blood vessel in the lungs becomes blocked, typically by a thrombus—clot—from another part of the body. This interruption in blood flow can lead to severe complications or even be life-threatening, underscoring the necessity for complete rest and medical care.
Robe has been a significant figure in the Spanish music scene, known for his poetic lyrics and raw rock sound. His current tour was an eagerly anticipated event for fans who have followed his career over the decades. The unexpected health issue adds another layer of uncertainty to an already tumultuous period for live music, characterized by the lingering impacts of the pandemic on the arts and entertainment industry.
While the cancellation of concerts is always disappointing, the health and well-being of artists must come first. Fans are rallying around Robe with messages of support, wishing him a swift recovery as they await updates on his health and future performances.
