El bajista Juan Alderete, miembro de Mars Volta y bajista de gira para Marilyn Manson y Deltron 3030, entre otros, sufrió una lesión cerebral traumática como resultado de un accidente de bicicleta el 13 de enero, reveló su esposa Anne Alderete a través de Instagram. El músico sufrió lo que se conoce como lesión axonal difusa y actualmente está en coma. «El único pronóstico es esperar y ver, ya que el cerebro es un órgano complicado y los resultados para los pacientes con DAI tienen un alcance tan amplio como el mar«, explicó Anne Alderete. «Si bien es frustrante, también permite un mundo de resultados positivos, por lo que solo podemos esperar lo mejor«. Encuentre su anuncio completo a continuación.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala insinuó una reunión de Mars Volta en mayo de 2019. Él y Alderete fundaron una nueva banda, Zavalaz, junto a Dan Elkan y Gregory Rogove, en 2013.

Hi everyone – this is Anne, Juan’s wife. While I generally hesitate to share personal details on social media, it felt right to include all of you who’ve supported Juan over the years as friends, fans, fellow music (and food, cat, bike, Japan) lovers and musicians. Juan was in a solo (no cars, other people) and very serious bicycle accident on 1/13/20 not far from our home. He – as always – was wearing a helmet and protective clothing but sustained serious head trauma in the form of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); his form of TBI is Diffuse Axonal Injury (DAI) and as of today, he remains in a coma. The only prognosis is to wait and see, as the brain is a complicated organ and the outcomes for DAI patients has a range as wide as the sea. While frustrating, it also allows for a world of positive outcomes so we can only hope for the best. We know you have questions, concerns, thoughts to share, so please feel free to leave them in the comments (not DM please, sorry) here. We’re also very eager to hear from neurologists, medical professionals with experience in DAI and TBI, first-person accounts of similar trauma and outcomes – essentially any useful, factual and accurate resources that relate to Juan’s injury. If you have any of these, please DM me (Anne) @tunatoast. We will post updates here from time to time. Thank you all and please keep Juan in your thoughts. – xo, Anne
