Latin America Unites in Song for Gustavo Cerati, 1 Yr After He Collapses in Coma

It has been a year since the exceptional Argentine singer and guitarist Gustavo Cerati sung his last show, in Venezuela.

During that performance, 51 year-old Gustavo fell ill, and eventually collapsed, a victim of a “Cardio-Vascular Accident.”

“I don’t dream with seeing my son sing again,” said Lillian Clark, mother of the musician “I dream with him opening his eyes, and calling me mom.” Image

Cerati, who has been in a coma since May 16, 2010, has been surrounded by health professionals and his family during this year. Despite showing small but promising signs of progress, physicians fear there has been irreversible damage to his brain, and that of waking up, there are strong risks he could be paralyzed, or suffer ailments associated with brain damage.

We wish to join Gustavo, his family, and the entire Latin American community who loves and supports the former Soda Stereo front man, in a celebration of his career; hoping from the bottom of our hearts for a rapid and complete recovery.

Fuerza, Gus!
