Amaia Montero became stuck on a platform beneath the stage during a La Oreja de Van Gogh concert in Madrid, according to EL PAÍS. The incident was caused by a technical fault, the newspaper reported, and the show also featured an exchange of pointed remarks between Montero and Leire Martínez.
EL PAÍS described the two singers trading barbs during the event. It did not detail what was said or at which point in the concert the comments were made.
Coverage of the mishap focused on Montero's reaction to being stranded below the stage. El Mundo reported that she was heard asking whether she would be able to see the audience and whether the problem would be fixed. El Diario Vasco and La Vanguardia both quoted her describing the moment in positive terms, saying she kept singing and calling the experience wonderful. El Economista carried a similar account.
The reports agree on the broad outline: a platform malfunction during the Madrid date left Montero unable to reach the stage for a period, while she continued to perform. None of the outlets specified how long she remained trapped or how the situation was resolved.
La Oreja de Van Gogh has been led by Martínez since Montero's earlier departure from the group, making their shared appearance notable. The published accounts do not explain why both singers were on stage together or what prompted their exchange.
What to watch next: whether the band or the venue comments on the technical failure, and whether further dates on the tour are affected.
