DJ and music producer Kiko Rivera remains hospitalised at the Hospital Sagrado Corazón in Seville after suffering a second stroke. The son of Isabel Pantoja has cancelled his entire summer concert tour.
DJ and music producer Kiko Rivera, 42, has been admitted to the Hospital Sagrado Corazón in Seville after suffering a second stroke. The artist himself confirmed this through a statement on his social media, where he announced the immediate cancellation of his entire summer concert tour, which included at least 16 performances.
Rivera had previously suffered a first stroke in October 2022 and angina in July 2023. On this occasion, the affected individual has indicated that the episode "was a bit stronger" than the previous one, although he assured that he is stable and out of imminent danger. However, he confirmed that he has been left with "some small aftereffects".
In the statement issued from the hospital, Kiko Rivera attributed this new health issue to the "stress" caused by media pressure. "I have been living under constant media pressure for too long, with my name appearing every day on television, social media, and headlines," he highlighted in his writing.
The artist's circle, originally from Seville, has expressed concern over this new health setback. Close sources have indicated that the family is focused on his recovery and that the process is expected to be long. The treatment will include "time, rehabilitation, and a lot of work" to achieve full recovery, as Rivera himself explained.
The artist has announced a radical turning point in his life to set strict limits and protect his physical and emotional health. "Probably stress has had a lot to do with it," he reiterated in his statement, in which he also thanked for the expressions of support received.
The cancellation of the summer tour affects 16 scheduled concerts in various locations across Spain. The event organisers are already working on refunds for tickets or rescheduling the dates, as confirmed by sources from the promoter.
Kiko Rivera, son of the singer Isabel Pantoja, usually resides in the province of Seville and is a regular figure in the gossip press. His first stroke in 2022 already caused great concern among his followers, and this second episode has once again raised alarms.
The Hospital Sagrado Corazón in Seville, where he remains hospitalised, is a private reference centre in the Andalusian capital. An official medical report has not been provided, but the artist himself has wanted to reassure his followers by stating that he is "in good hands".
Experts warn that strokes can have serious consequences if not treated in time. In Kiko Rivera's case, as this is the second episode, doctors have taken extra precautions and have recommended a period of absolute rest. The artist is expected to remain hospitalised for at least several more days, until specialists consider that he is out of danger.
The news has caused a great stir on social media, where numerous celebrities and followers have sent messages of encouragement to the DJ. Among them is his mother, Isabel Pantoja, who, according to close sources, has travelled to Seville to be by his side.
This new health setback represents a severe blow to Kiko Rivera's career, which had resumed its professional activity after the first stroke with a concert tour that has now been interrupted. The artist has requested respect and privacy during these difficult times and has assured that he will inform about his progress through his official channels.
