This morning, we received the sad news: Juan Brujo, the founder and vocalist of the band Brujeria, has passed away. According to the band, Brujo suffered a heart attack on Monday and was immediately taken to a hospital. Despite the medical team's efforts, he passed away this morning.
Here is the band's official statement:
"It is with deep sadness we have to announce that our leader Juan Brujo has passed away today. Juan suffered a heart attack on early Monday morning, after a day off from the current Mexorcista tour in Saint Clairsville, Ohio. He was rushed to the nearest hospital in Wheeling, West Viriginia by emergency services, but, despite the medical team's greatest efforts, he died this morning. His family, friends and bandmates are devastated and wish to mourn in private, while they appreciate the fans' love and support.
'El Brujo is dead, long live El Brujo!'"
Due to this incident, the band had already canceled all tour dates on Monday. Whether they will return after this latest tragic blow remains to be seen. Our deepest condolences go out to Juan's family, friends, and everyone in the Brujeria camp, especially in light of the death of Pinche Peach earlier this year.
