Ilegales Cancel Tour Indefinitely as Frontman Jorge Martínez Begins Cancer Treatment

The announcement follows weeks of isolated cancellations initially attributed to surgery.

Overview

  • An official communiqué from Art Music Agency and the band confirms Martínez has cancer and will undergo oncological treatment, with no details on the tumor type.
  • All live dates are suspended without a timetable for return, halting the tour promoting the March release 'Joven y arrogante'.
  • The group says the situation became more complicated than expected, formalizing earlier piecemeal cancellations in Oviedo and at a Vigo festival.
  • Events are reprogramming and offering refunds, with Noites do Porto de A Coruña seeking a replacement for the 26 September slot and keeping tickets valid for those who wish to attend.
  • Fellow musicians have sent public messages of support, including a recent onstage dedication from Loquillo before the diagnosis was disclosed.
