More than 20 years active in music, he started 2019 with a message to his followers "It’s a goodbye, but see you later"
The musician Pau Donés has used the internet to say goodbye to the followers of his band, Jarabe de Palo , through a video of thanks in which, however, he says: "We will be back: it’s goodbye , but see you later." The singer has suffered from colon cancer for several years.
"They have been connected to music for 20 years and perhaps the time has come to do other little things," he says at the start of this piece, apparently filmed in a recording studio, which puts an end to the career of his group. The evolution of this disease is notorious, it has undergone various treatments which Pau Donés has shared with his fans today, thanks for the support and announces with his retirement that it is time to do other things.
In it, Donés is grateful for the "gift" that Jarabe de Palo’s career has meant, "lots of good things, unrepeatable moments", as well as the possibility of living off his "dream" and "being part of the band sound "of so many lives.

"We are going to miss you a lot," he says excitedly, remembering that, from now on, "there will be no stages or music", in a message in which he leaves the door open for a return to artistic activity: "No I know when or how, but we will be back. "
Jarabe de Palo was born in 1996, boosted by the great success of the single "La flaca", which gave the title to his first album, which would be followed by another eight studio albums with original songs such as "El Side Dark", "It depends", "Water" or "Nice".
It was last July when Donés, through his Twitter account, already anticipated a temporary withdrawal from the stage to focus on his personal life, especially his family.
