La Oreja de Van Gogh announces that Leire is no longer its singer, will Amaia Montero return?
HThere are groups and bands that, due to their impact and good taste, have gone down in the country’s musical history, and that have managed to mark a before and after. Without a doubt, one of them is Van Gogh’s Ear. Well, the group has caused the big unexpected news in the industry this Monday, October 14.
They themselves have announced through a statement that Leire Martínez is no longer the group’s vocalist after almost two decades sharing the stage. This is what they announced: “After 17 wonderful years full of music and emotions that we will never forget, we want to announce that the professional trajectories of Leire and La Oreja de Van Gogh will follow separate paths.”
In addition, they have given details about how complicated this resolution has been for the band: “The decision has been hard and difficult, but it comes after a long time of reflection and deep conversations in which we have not managed to bring together our different ways of living as a group.”
All the alarms went off for fans on October 7, when after the end of the band’s tour in Zaragoza, Leire Martínez sang their great song ‘Rosas’ through tears. It should be remembered that the vocalist did a great job, since she had to live for a long time with the long shadow of Amaia Montero after her departure.
All the rumors focus on the return of Amaia Montero to La Oreja de Van Gogh
It is precisely on the latter that all the spotlight is placed after the news of Leire’s departure. Amaia Montero announced her return to music after two years away from the music industry. Besides, She starred in a great moment with Karol G at the Santiago Bernabéu, performing the same song with which the recently ex-vocalist burst into tears.
These rumors have obviously increased, but sources close to La Oreja de Van Gogh indicate that “Amaia’s return is not contemplated at the moment”, although it is not ruled out in the medium term.
