Many believed that the Basque singer’s return to the stage last May with her legendary song ‘Rosas’ alongside Karol G at the Bernabéu was not a coincidence, although the parties then denied an official return. However, the output of Leire Martínezannounced with a statement this Monday morning, has fueled speculation and this time it is confirmed: Amaia Montero comes back to Van Gogh’s Ear seventeen years after leaving the group to try his luck alone.
Little by little, because at the moment they have signed only one concert that will take place next year. The exact date is unknown but everything indicates that they would want it to be at the Santiago Bernabéu. Let us remember that the Real Madrid stadium has been forced to cancel all the events planned until March 2025, because it would be from that date onwards. This is what Javier de Hoyos says: “Amaia Montero is going to return to Van Gogh’s Ear with a concert, it is already signed and closed in 2025,” he said. Of course, the journalist assures that this meeting is a step but it does not mean, for the moment, anything more: “Does that mean that Amaia is going to return as such? We don’t know what will happen next.”
He also assures that Leire’s departure has not been easy at all because, 17 years after her signing, the interpreter continued to live with the ‘ghost’ of Amaia not only in front of the public but also among her own colleagues. A lack of respect that reached its peak with the signing of said concert in 2025: “Leire was not willing to continue putting up with this type of situation.”
A new stage
The group announced Leire’s departure this Monday through a statement: “The decision has been hard and difficult, but it comes after a long time of reflection and deep conversations in which we have not managed to bring our different ways of living as a group closer together.” “A fascinating stage ends that we will all carry in our hearts and that has allowed us to enjoy the best profession in the world in a dream way.”
A news about which Leire has not expressed himself individually but which explains the tears he shed a few hours before in what would be, unbeknownst to the fans, his last concert with the group. The images are already spreading like wildfire on social networks.
Does everything make sense now? This was Leire’s last time as a LOVG singer. I can’t believe I won’t see the five of them together again. pic.twitter.com/7oNrXJHh4P

In his last interview he already hinted at the complexity of the situation: “I am surprised that, 16 years later, I still have to answer for Amaia and that people continue to ask me about her. Something must have been left unresolved,” he said. “That they say these things to me affects me to the extent that I want them to affect me, but yes, they are disrespectful.”
Now this video makes much more sense. Leire was never fully supported by the group #laorejadevangogh and it is very clear that after these statements, they fired her. All my support for her pic.twitter.com/KPGxqPTvyW
