Luis Miguel Discharged After Heart Surgery, Returns to Mexico

Mexican singer Luis Miguel was hospitalized at New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center for a delicate cardiac procedure performed by a team led by Spanish cardiologist Valentín Fuster. Media outlets, including Semana, reported that the operation was successful and that the artist’s condition was favorable.

Within days the singer was given medical discharge and flew back to Mexico to continue his recovery at home. His daughter Michelle Salas and longtime companion Paloma Cuevas have been closely monitoring his progress, according to sources. The move allows him to rest away from the intense media scrutiny that surrounded his hospitalization.

The singer’s return has been confirmed by several publications, which note that his team plans to keep details of the procedure private while focusing on his convalescence in his native country.
