Ely Buendia is now at Philippine Heart Center

The highly anticipated reunion comeback of Pinoy band icon Eraserheads at the Bonifacio Global City open field yesterday Aug. 30 push through but the unexpected happened and the concert was cut short. Lead vocalist Ely Buendia suffered chest pain and reportedly collapsed after the first set.

He was rushed to the Makati Medical Center and the Buendia's family has declined to comment on his condition. They also requested the media to refrain from interviews and shooting video of the singer.

UPDATE:
After he was treated at Makati Med., he was transferred at the Philippine Heart Center around 1:00 a.m. Sunday.

Reportedly, Buendia suffered chest pains due to the stress brought about by his mother's recent death and exhaustion due to the rehearsals for the Eraserheads reunion concert.

Buendia's mother died of cardiac arrest early morning of August 28. She had been recovering from surgery done just days before to treat her intestinal cancer.

In 2007, Buendia suffered a heart attack while his new band Pupil was performing in Laguna. He underwent two angioplasty procedures at the Philippine Heart Center after doctors found at least two blockages in his arteries.
