A little more than two years had passed since that iconic Luis Alberto Spinetta show with his “Eternal Bands”. The concert, which lasted approximately 5 hoursserved as a review of an incorruptible songbook, which denoted the faithfulness of the Flaco not only with his audience, but also with himself.
Despite the short distance between what seemed validity and fullness, On February 8, 2012 Spinetta died from lung cancer, at 62. The void was huge, because he was a caliber size artist and his loss meant the absence of spiritual guidance within Argentine art. A figure that marked the way for so long left the lights off and turned song.
However, the music state of the musician had spread shortly before, December 23, 2011when he issued a release Through their children Catarina and Dante. The last images of his had worried fans, so the skinny came out to clarify the goals.
The Spinetta letter, near its end
In this way, Spinetta explained its present and tried to calm the media waters:
“Buenos Aires, December 23, 2011 in the City of Buenos Aires,
My name is Luis Alberto Spinetta. I am 61 years old and I am a musician. Since July I know that I have lung cancer. I am very careful for a loving family, for the friends of the soul, and for the best doctors we have in the country.
Given the flood of inaccurate information, I want to publicly clarify the conditions of my state of health. I feel very good, in full treatment towards a definitive healing.
I want to thank everyone for the good vibes I have received, and Ask them not to paniqueand do not take into account the news that the vultures have generated on duty. I have no social network, or Twitter or Facebook, etc., therefore everything they read about it is false.
I belong to conducting conscientiously, and I remind you that now at parties, if they are going to drive they should not drink.
Thank you. I love them very much. Happy parties.
Luis”.
