Two weeks after the sensational news about the reunion of La Oreja de Van Gogh, vocalist Amaia Montero published a heartfelt letter on social media. In it, she shared her thoughts and feelings about returning to the stage with the band that brought her fame. This message became the singer’s first detailed comment following the official announcement.
As a reminder, on October 15 the band officially confirmed the rumors that had been stirring fans for a whole year after Leire Martínez’s departure. The musicians announced the beginning of a “new chapter” with Amaia, while also disappointing fans with the news that guitarist Pablo Benegas would be temporarily absent from the upcoming tour. In their statement, the members shared that they spent a year in their hometown, San Sebastián, where they not only worked on new songs, but also reminisced about everything they had experienced together. They promised that fans can look forward to “magical nights” filled with unforgettable emotions.
In her letter, the artist admitted that the past six years had been incredibly difficult for her. She revealed that she often thought she wouldn’t be able to go on, that she lacked the strength—and perhaps even the will—to keep striving for anything. Montero described this period as a challenging journey toward her true self, a process of breaking free from an imposed image. According to her, to be reborn, she had to say goodbye to a part of herself. This experience taught her that life is all about constant rebuilding and rethinking, and that there is always a chance for a fresh start—if you allow yourself to take it.
The singer expressed immense gratitude for the incredible support she has felt in recent days. She was deeply moved by how quickly tickets for her upcoming tour are selling out. It made her feel that the audience had been waiting for her all this time, and that she has finally come home. Amaia emphasized how happy she is to celebrate this reunion with her band, whom she calls her brothers and family. She is confident that their shared passion remains strong, and believes many more achievements lie ahead.
The post sparked a wave of enthusiastic responses. Numerous fans and colleagues rushed to share their excitement. Among them was renowned actress Paula Echevarría, who wrote that she looks forward to seeing her at the concert. Thousands of comments from fans, such as “We were waiting for you,” “The true queen is back,” and “You’re the best, no matter what,” confirm that Amaia Montero’s return has become one of the most highly anticipated events on the Spanish music scene.
