Leiva Details Eye Loss and Vocal-Cord Injury as His Documentary Opens

The singer uses the film's release to explain pre-tour treatments that force curtailed schedules.

Overview

  • In recent interviews, Leiva said a pellet‑gun shot at 12 cost him vision in his left eye and he adapted without lasting childhood trauma.
  • He recounted that a hospital orderly told him losing an eye would not change his life, and he later described the pellet lodging dangerously close to his brain.
  • He revealed an irreversible vocal‑cord lesion that requires injections or operations before touring and has led him to avoid back‑to‑back shows and lower song keys.
  • His documentary Hasta que me quede sin voz opens in cinemas on 17 October after a San Sebastián premiere, produced with Movistar Plus+.
  • He says he is declining corrective eye surgery for now because he is accustomed to seeing with one eye.
