No Truth To Rumors of Ely Buendia's Death

Former Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia dead? Perish the thought.

This, in essence was the response of Day Cabuhat, Ely's manager, after rumors of Buendia's death circulated like wildfire early this week.

"He (Ely) is alive and well and eating pistachios," Cabuhat said.

Cabuhat said the 37-year-old vocalist just laughed at reports that he had died after undergoing an angioplasty last September 1 following the aborted Eraserheads' reunion concert last month.

Buendia experienced chest pains and reportedly collapsed backstage after the first set of the long-awaited reunion concert held at the Fort Bonifacio Open Field in Taguig City on August 30. He was transferred to the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) the next day after being treated at the Makati Medical Center's emergency room.

Cabuhat assured Buendia's fans and supporters that the Pupil frontman is now doing better and is recovering from surgery.
