We have bad news news for fans of vocalist Gustavo Cerati of Soda Stereo. The Argentine rock star passed away today at age 55 of respiratory arrest at the ALCLA hospital in Argentina. Gustavo Cerati has been hospitalized since he fainted at a concert in Caracas, Venezuela, in 2010. It turned out to be a transient ischemic attack in which he had to have brain surgery due to a potentially fatal blood clot. He has been in a coma ever since.
After Soda Stereo broke up in 1997, Gustavo Cerati performed as a solo artist and last toured in support of his solo release Fuerza Natural. His last Los Angeles tour date was at Club Nokia on April 28, 2010.
We at The Scenestar are big fans of Gustavo Cerati, and our hearts go out to his family, friends, and fans. Below is a statement by the family following his passing. R.I.P. Gustavo Cerati.
En el día de la fecha lamentamos compartir con ustedes esta información:
