I wasn’t supposed to go to the Eheads Reunion Concert despite having bought the tickets with Jon (Thanks! Libre ba yun? Haha!) last Friday. I was afraid of the big crowd and I thought I might hyperventilate so I made up my mind not to go. Camsy, Dianne and I just planned to wait for Av and Jon at Boni High. I was inside Fully Booked when I heard Ely Buendia sing the first lines of “Alapaap” and I knew I had to watch. But Jon has our tickets so I was still hesitating. When I saw him and he held the ticket up from across the street, I just ran to him and went inside! Haha! Never mind that I was wearing a dress!
It was like a trip to memory lane. I knew some of my highschool friends are there, especially PX (Die hard fan!). Next time mare I’ll inform you na hehe!
The concert was cut short though and Ely had to be rushed to the hospital. I was surprised because there wasn’t any violent reactions from the audience when it was announced that we all had to leave because they’re ending the concert but I think most of them just sympathized with him. His mother died last Thursday but they still played. It was still fun though and I’m glad I watched.

(Update) Ely Buendia rushed to hospital; Eraserheads reunion concert cut short

Concert organizers and friends rushed Buendia to the Makati Medical Center, where he was reported to be in stable condition.
In a text message to GMANews.TV, Dok Sergio, bassist of Buendia’s new band Pupil, said: “Ely is fine. Don’t worry.”
The Erasherheads opened the concert at 8:15 p.m. with their hit song “Alapaap” and proceeded to play classics such as “Ligaya,” “Wag Mo Nang Itanong,” “Fruitcake,” among others.
More than 10 songs were played to eager fans at The Fort and around 9:30 p.m. the band took a 30-minute break. Forty minutes later, Buendia’s sister went up to the stage to break the sad news.
“We regret to inform you that we have to cut the concert short. My brother had to be rushed to hospital because of emotional and physical stress he is experiencing,” said Buendia’s sister Lali to concert-goers.
Fans said that in the middle of the reunion concert, Buendia stopped playing his guitar. They said the lead singer sat on the floor and bowed his head. Then the stage lights went out.
In 2007, Buendia suffered a heart attack while his new band Pupil was performing in Laguna.
The Eraserheads was a popular Pinoy rock band of the 1990s formed by Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala and Marcus Adoro.
