Ely Buendia, former frontman of the most influential band of the 90’s, the Eraserheads was brought to The Medical City in the middle of their reunion concert last night in The Fort, Bonifacio Global City Taguig due to his heart illness.
Over 60, 000 people witnessed the historic and memorable concert event of the year as the band reunites for the first time after breaking up last 2002. Eraserheads original members, Ely Bundia, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro started the reunion concert at 8:30 PM which was supposed to start at 8:00 PM. (this is just a very common situation in every concert event, I understand!) Eraserheads started to heat up the night without any further introduction, spiels or front acts with their first song, “Alapaap”, backed up with a dazzling fireworks display. The group performed 15 of their chart topping hits, “Toyang”, “With a Smile”, “Harana”, “Hey Jay”, “Huwag Mo Nang Itanong”, “Kailan”, “Sembreak”, “Torpedo”, “Shake Your Head”, “Fruitcake” and other signature songs.

The Eraserheads consistently performed their remarkable hits as thousands of fans inside the concert venue definitely enjoyed the night. After successfully doing the first set of the reunion concert at 9:30 PM, they had an announcement that they will be having a 20 to 30 minute break before proceeding to their second set of performance. It was already 10:10 PM when only three of the members, Raymund, Buddy and Marcus returned to the stage without the vocalist, Ely Buendia. Everyone sensed a bit of tension when Marcus Adoro, lead guitarist of the band introduced Ely’s younger sister, Lally Buendia on stage. Lally expressed how thankful they are for all the people who supported the reunion concert of the Eraserheads that night. Unfortunately, she asked for an apology to everyone for an unexpected thing happened to his brother Ely.” We regret to inform you that due to my brothers’ poor health, the emotional and physical stress that he’s been experiencing, we apologize for cutting the concert short. My brother Ely had to be rushed to the hospital for medical attention.” The concert producer, Radiohead Media Solutions Inc. also extended his apology and asked for prayers from the audience. All of the fans dearly understood the emergency happened to Ely Buendia. They did not even teased, shout for dismayed, or showed any violent reaction after hearing the sad news but instead, they just left the concert venue sadly.

It was also confirmed that Eraserheads former vocalist, did not undergo any bypass operation last night unlike to the reports that had spread out. According to the press, Ely Buendia was then transferred to Philippine Heart Center past midnight after he was rushed to The Medical City due to stress and fatigue.
Speculations were formed that Ely Buendia was already in a safe condition but until now, there was no formal statement released from the family of the famous Eraserheads vocalist. Fans are still waiting if the Eraserheads reunion concert will be having a repeat.
