Amaia Montero Breaks Silence on La Oreja de Van Gogh Tour Rumors: “Battling Adversity Makes Me Indestructible

Amaia Montero has released an urgent statement on May 13, 2026, to address and deny rumors regarding the potential cancellation of her tour with La Oreja de Van Gogh.

The 49-year-old singer issued the communication following a controversial start to the tour, which marks her highly anticipated return to the stage as the vocalist for the band.

The speculation concerning the tour’s future intensified after two performances in Bilbao, including a show on May 9, 2026, at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre.

In her statement, Montero clarified that she had intentionally planned a period of disconnection and rest immediately following the Bilbao dates.

She described her time off as successful, detailing a routine of resting, spending time in her garden, and watching series before noticing that her phone was filled with messages of affection and congratulations.

Montero expressed surprise when a close friend called her to ask if she intended to leave the tour, a question that prompted her to break her silence and clarify her current status.

Addressing her resilience and the emotional weight of her return to the spotlight, the artist stated: Bajar al infierno te hace prácticamente indestructible.

The singer’s return has been met with a polarized reception. Some media reports, including analysis from Xataka, described the comeback as disastrous and suggested that the quality of the performances could pose a risk to her professional legacy.

LaSexta highlighted specific problems encountered during the first return concert, which contributed to the public debate and the subsequent rumors that the tour might be abandoned.

Despite these criticisms and the resulting instability in the press, Montero’s statement serves to reassure fans and industry observers that the band’s upcoming commitments remain intact.
