My name is Luis Alberto Spinetta. I am 61 years old and am a musician. I have known since July that I have lung cancer. I am very cared for by a loving family, by friends of the soul, and by the best doctors we have in the country. Faced with the flood of inaccurate information, I want to publicly clarify the conditions of my state of health. I feel very well, in full treatment towards a definitive cure. I want to thank everyone for the good vibes I've received, and ask them not to panic, and not take into account the news generated by the vultures on duty. I do not have any social network, or Twitter, or Facebook, etc, therefore everything you read about it is false. I belong to Driving a Consciousness, and I remind you that now at parties, if you are going to drive you should not drink. Thanks. I love you so much. Happy Holidays. Luis.
