Juancho de la Espriella denied rumors about an alleged cancer circulating on social media, stating that he is in excellent health. The accordionist personally addressed his followers to clarify his situation and provide details about his professional agenda.
The musician stated: “Thanks to God, I am doing excellently well health-wise,” during a message directed to his fans in which he discussed the recording of a new album, the conclusion of his tour with Silvestre Dangond, and his performances with Los de Juancho. The rumors arose after observing changes in Dangond’s appearance, which led to speculation about his friend’s health.
Clearly upset, De la Espriella called for responsibility from those spreading unverified information. “Don’t be so irresponsible,” he emphasized, adding: “People’s health is not a game.” In his message, he urged these individuals to investigate and report news seriously, citing the New York Times as a standard of informative quality.
To conclude his address, the accordionist repeated: “I am perfectly well, thank God, better than ever.” Followers responded on social media with messages of support and relief, glad that the artist is healthy.
On March 20, 2026, Juancho de la Espriella had been urgently hospitalized at the Reina Sofía Clinic in Bogotá due to a kidney stone that required intervention. In a video, he described the intense pain he experienced and the process that led to the surgery, which was successful. After his recovery, he expressed gratitude for the support he received and promised to return to performing soon.
Although the recent rumors are based on his past hospitalization, the accordionist has reiterated that his health at this time is good and that he has no major complications.
