UPDATE
MANILA – The much awaited reunion of Pinoy supergroup, the Eraserheads was cut short last night, August 30 (Manila time) at the Fort Bonifacio Global City, after lead singer Ely Buendia collapsed backstage from an apparent heart attack.

This was announced by his sister who went onstage after a 20-minute intermission.

Raimund Marasigan also came out onstage, followed by Marcus Adoro and Buddy Zabala who assisted Buendia's sister, according to Jing Garcia, former music journalist and currently technology editor at Manila Times. Garcia, a friend of the former members of the Eraserheads, said Buendia collapsed backstage after singing "Fruitcake," the last song before the 20-minute intermission.

Buendia had suffered a previous attack and is reported to be under a lot of stress after his mother died a couple of days before the reunion show.

 Members of the band went onstage and apologized for the shortened concert.

 MTV Philippines' Francis Lumen eventually went onstage to ask the audience for a minute of silence.
