Juan Brujo, the voice and heart of Brujeria, is no more. According to the band, Juan suffered a heart attack on Monday. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but the medical team couldn't save him despite their best efforts.
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!'"
Following this tragic turn of events, the band has already canceled all tour dates. Whether Brujeria will return at some point remains to be seen. Our thoughts are with Juan's family, friends, and everyone in the Brujeria camp, especially following the loss of Ciriaco "Pinche Peach" Quezada earlier this year, who was active as a singer and sampler for the band before his death.
