Eraserheads vocalist Ely Buendia was rushed to the hospital during reunion concert
Eraserheads former lead vocalist, Ely Buendia was reportedly rushed to the hospital just a few hours ago in the middle of their reunion concert in The Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
According to the source, the 38 year old singer and song- writer known as the founder of the popular OPM rock band of the 90’s looked woeful while performing on stage with the rest of his former bandmates. Some of the audience even noticed the hoarseness of his voice while singing their first set in the reunion concert. Ely Buendia with his fellow Eraserheads members, Raymund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro performed 15 of their hits before the group was set to have their 30 minute break. But unfortunately, 40 minutes had passed and there was no Ely Buendia who had appeared on stage to perform their second set of songs. Instead, Ely’s younger sister surprisingly announced the audience that his brother could no longer finish the reunion concert because he was rushed to the hospital due to his heart illness.
The press also confirmed that Ely Buendia is currently undergoing a triple bypass operation but they were still waiting for any official announcement or statement coming from the family of Ely regarding the exact location of the hospital where Ely Buendia was sent to. As we remember recently, Ely just undergo a heart operation called ‘angioplasty’ last January of 2007 and successfully recovered the delicate procedure.
Last August 28, two days before the Eraserheads reunion concert, mother of Ely Buendia, Mrs. Lisette Buendia died because of cardiac arrest.

well, in my own opinion, i don’t think the sponsors of the event should refund the ticket, what happened to Ely was an emergency and it was against ely’s will. in fact, people who’ve watched the concert who supposed to react on a negative perspective did not demand for a ticket refund because they understand the situation of ely that night.
but the good news that i’ve heard was ely wants to do a repeat of the concert as soon as he gets well.

Music is Ely Buendia’s passion. kapag nasa puso mo talaga ang isang bagay na talagang gustong gusto mong gawin, di mo ‘to kayang iwanan ng basta na lang. it runs in his blood, sabi nga nila, kapag oras mo na, you can’t do anything about it and i’m sure ely knows it very well. I think he’s just following the desire of his heart and i salute him for that!
I’m praying for his speedy recovery.

The organizers of the concert should’ve postponed the concert coz they know very well the man’s mom just passed away last Thursday. Syempre parang lumulutang pa yong tao, hirap kaya no’n.

si Ely daw ang may gusto na ituloy ang concert bcoz everything was already set on that particular date. ayaw na daw nia ipostponed pa that’s why itinuloy pa din ang concert. Maybe, he doesn’t want the fans to get dismayed or what kasi nga nakaplano na lahat. i guess na overwhelmed lang din cia sa dame ng supporters ng eheads na pumunta and kasama na of course yung pagod and puyat… too bad ;(

ely,
I am elaine d. bartolome. I am 38 years old now and I remember now what happened to us in Pepin St. Quezon city when I was in grade 4. That was vacation. I have been pondering what is all about the El Bimbo and I remember this time it was I who told you the meaning of my name is paraluman. I was the girl who taught you how top dance the Elbimbo at Pepin Street. I met you sometime in 2004 at VIlla escudero , Quezon Province in its Museum but I can’t remember you.It was a priest who arranged for our meeting but I can’t rally remember who you are. You said I’m sorry I said, forgive yourself and donate to the CHurch. I can remember who you are to me now.I am still here at Bayombong Nueva Vizcaya. I never realize you would become a singer. I don’t run after you but I think I also need to see you personally. I suffered a lot after that incident. Don’t worry I will not tell the public what it was I respect your name. DO you also respect simple person like I do?Tyrone Salientes knew you but he did’nt tell me about you instead also ruin me but I stood up. Please if you consider me. I forgive you yes but please give me the pleasure to meet you personally. I remember all my painful past and your sight appears when we were at Pepin ST.my number is 09155300358. I mean no harm in writing this Please for the full recovery of what they call retrogression amnesia. I the spirit of love and forgiveness please I ask you either to call me or see you.. I repeat I mean no harm and don’t even worry of me asking anything. I am a teacher now I just want to see you in person too
