“No one gave me a candle at that funeral. “I don’t even want it.” This Wednesday, Amaia Montero tried to quell rumors about her possible return to La Oreja de Van Gogh, after the group announced two days ago the departure of its singer, Leire Martínez.
The singer of the group for sixteen years also broke her silence, in an interview on the show Ganbara from Radio Euskadi, where he declared that “the time will come” to give his version of what happened.
“If I said I was good or bad, it would probably be misinterpreted. “I don’t want to stay at home and it’s true that at the moment I don’t want to say anything more about it,” he added. For now, she prefers to “be calm and think”, as well as: “Get your bearings”. “Everyone has their own rhythm,” he concluded.
Amaia Montero: “No one gave me a candle at this funeral”
Amaia Montero, for her part, participated in Late, by telephone. “This issue has nothing to do with me,” he said. The singer shared that she “also” wondered why she was linked to Leire Martínez’s departure from the group. “It’s madness, it’s dementia,” he said. “Did I say or did anyone in the group say that I was going to go back to Van Gogh’s ear?” They invent it. And it’s starting to affect me,” he said.
The group announced the departure of Leire Martínez through a statement on its social networks last Monday. “A fascinating stage ends that we will all carry in our hearts and which has allowed us to enjoy the best job in the world in a dream way,” they said. The San Sebastian team described the decision as “hard and difficult” and assured that it came after “a long time of reflection and deep conversations during which we did not succeed in bringing together our different ways of live in a group.
The text ends the sixteen years in which Martínez appeared as leader of La Oreja de Van Gogh since Amaia Montero decided to embark on her solo career in 2008. Montero, for his part, reappeared this summer by surprise after two years without being on stage as a guest of Karol G during one of the four concerts she gave at the Santiago Bernabéu.
