Ilegales Suspend Tour Indefinitely as Frontman Jorge Martínez Begins Cancer Treatment

The band has halted all shows to let the 70-year-old begin cancer treatment.

Overview

  • An official communiqué from Art Music Agency confirms the cancer diagnosis and says Martínez will undergo oncological treatment, with no tumor type disclosed.
  • All upcoming concerts are canceled for an indefinite period as the band stops live activity to prioritize the singer’s recovery.
  • The pause follows recent isolated cancellations initially attributed to a surgical intervention that the band now says became more complicated than expected.
  • Promoters are rebooking dates and informing fans, with Noites do Porto in A Coruña seeking a substitute for 26 September and offering refunds to ticket-holders.
  • The tour had been promoting the March 2025 album Joven y arrogante, and fellow artists, including Loquillo, have publicly sent messages of support.
