An illness keeps the singer of La Raíz out of the 2025 tour
Pablo Sánchez must undergo treatment for multiple myeloma
Barcelona"I have a serious and chronic illness," explained Valencian musician Pablo Sánchez, singer of the group La Raíz, on Friday. Logically, the illness forces him not to participate in the group's tour, which had folded sails in 2018 but decided to return to activity last year. At Sánchez's own request, the tour that begins in March is continuing.
"With one month to go before the tour begins, our lives and that of the band suffer an unexpected setback. It won't be easy to do it without the person who has brought us here, but he has asked us to continue, and we will try with all our strength. He tells you with us, for La Raíz, for music." Raíz.
Pablo Sánchez himself explained to Instagram that a few months ago he suffered from back pain that he was treating with physiotherapy. "But a month and a half ago, after a sneeze, I felt a very strong pain. I was in pain for a week. I had broken a vertebra," he explains. The exceptional nature of the situation —"A vertebra doesn't break with a sneeze," says Sánchez— led the doctors to do an MRI and other tests, which finally determined the diagnosis: multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow and the immune system. I have to start treatment now," says the singer of La Raíz.
