CERATI FANS URGED TO ‘HAVE FAITH’
A former bandmate of hospitalised rocker GUSTAVO CERATI has urged fans to "have faith" after the Argentinian star underwent brain surgery followin g a mini-stroke.
The singer was admitted to a hospital in Venezuela after collapsing at the end of his gig in Caracas on Saturday (15May10).
Doctors confirmed Cerati suffered an "ischemic vascular event", a condi tion known as a mini-stroke which reduces blood flow to the brain, but th e 50 year old’s health hit further trouble when surgeons were forced to o perate to remove a potentially-fatal blood clot on Tuesday (18May10).
He is now recovering in intensive care and his progress over the next f ew days will prove "critical", according to hospital director Adolfredo S aez.
Cerati’s former Soda Stereo pal, Charly Alberti, admits the news hit hi m hard and he’s praying the singer makes a full recovery.
The drummer says, "We must have faith. My head has been boiling since I found out on Sunday." And Ricky Martin has also offered his support to the ailing rocker.
In a post on his Twitter.com page, he writes, "Strength Cerati, we want you well!"
