\n\tThe family says that the 65-year-old guitarist was rushed to the hospital after suffering the cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and that he is \u201cin good hands with specialist doctors alongside his wife and two children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFor this reason, he will not be able to attend the previously scheduled concert dates until further notice,\u201d the family adds. They also express their gratitude for the outpouring of love from his fans and the well wishes for his recovery, hoping for a swift improvement in his condition.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlejandro Marcovich was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1960 but has lived in Mexico since the 1970s when his family went into exile in the North American country following the 1976 coup d\u2019\u00e9tat. He was a founding member of the legendary band Caifanes from 1989 to 1995, and before that, of Las Ins\u00f3litas Im\u00e1genes de Aurora. Due to disputes and irreconcilable differences between the guitarist and vocalist Sa\u00fal Hern\u00e1ndez, Caifanes disbanded, but in 2011, the band celebrated a historic reunion.<\/p>\n

\n\tConsidered one of the most legendary and influential bands in the Mexican rock scene, with classics such as \u201cLa Negra Tomasa\u201d and \u201cM\u00e1tenme Porque Me Muero,\u201d Caifanes was highlighted this year in the top 10 of Billboard<\/em>\u2018s 50 Best Latin Rock Bands of All Time, ranking at No. 7.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2010, Marcovich was diagnosed with a brain tumor, for which he underwent surgery. In 2022, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.<\/p>\n
