Tito Fuentes Says He Is Not Hospitalized, Contradicting Reports of Recent Surgery

His Instagram note seeks to calm concern after coverage tied his ongoing facial procedures to past substance use.

Overview

  • The Molotov guitarist said on Instagram that he is in Cuernavaca working and feeling better than ever.
  • His message followed TV and print reports that he had been hospitalized and underwent facial reconstructive surgery about two weeks earlier, based on a Sale el Sol interview shared by Publimetro and 24 Horas.
  • Bandmate Micky Huidobro told Sale el Sol that doctors recently operated and said it may be possible to have him ready to play later this year.
  • Huidobro also said Fuentes’ health problems trace to addiction that escalated in 2020 and that severe damage to his nasal septum required repeated reconstructive work.
  • Some outlets cited Huidobro in reporting a count of 11 surgeries and mentioned earlier extreme complications, details not backed by formal medical statements.
