Gustavo Cerati Undergoes More Surgery, Remains In Coma

By Simone Hilliard

Gustavo Cerati's niece may have spoken too soon when she reported last week that her beloved uncle was in stable condition. 

It seems the Soda Stereo musician (who has been hospitalized at Fleni Clinic since May after suffering an ischemic attack while performing in Venezuela) underwent surgery once again on Tuesday (August 3), according to the clinic's medical director, Claudio E. Pensa. 

The medical report states:

"Pacient Gustavo Cerati has undergone surgery to treat the hydrocephalus profile related to his hemispheric stroke. The current situation continues to be critical and he remains in a coma."

The report also asks that new medical reports be issued at the family's discretion and only when there are pertinent changes to his condition. 

While publications like Argentine newspaper El Nueva Dia are reporting that the singer has passed, Cerati's family members have asked the media and fans to avoid spreading rumors and assured them that Gustavo is receiving "spiritual help" and that he is "very well taken care of."

The family released this statement on the musician's website:

"Between so many good wishes and people's positive energy, us and Gustavo's natural force, we believe and trust that his health will slowly improve."

Tr3s continues to keep the musician in our thoughts and continue to wish he, his family, and his supporters well.

Leave all your well wishes in the comments, or @MTV3.
