The Warning’s Paulina Recounts Hospitalization That Led to Tour Cancellation in Querétaro

In a heartfelt revelation that has stirred emotions among fans, Paulina Villarreal, drummer of the acclaimed Mexican rock band The Warning, opened up about a challenging moment during their recent Power Trio Tour. The band, known for their electrifying performances and sibling synergy, was forced to cancel their highly anticipated show in Querétaro after Paulina was hospitalized due to a sudden health scare.

The incident occurred just hours before their scheduled performance in the central Mexican city. Fans had gathered in anticipation, eager to witness the dynamic trio — composed of sisters Daniela (guitar and vocals), Alejandra (bass), and Paulina (drums) — bring their signature intensity to the stage. However, an unexpected turn of events changed everything.

Speaking in a recent interview, Paulina recounted the distressing moment. “I started feeling very unwell that day,” she shared. “It wasn’t something I could push through, and it became clear pretty quickly that I needed medical attention. As much as I wanted to play, my health had to come first.”

Paulina was swiftly taken to a local hospital where she received immediate care. Although the specific nature of her condition was not disclosed, sources close to the band confirmed it was serious enough to warrant overnight observation and ultimately led to the show’s cancellation. The band issued a public statement at the time, expressing regret and apologizing to their fans in Querétaro, while emphasizing the importance of Pauline’s recovery.

The Warning has built a strong following not only for their musical talent but also for their authenticity and close bond — both as musicians and sisters. Their candid approach to adversity has only deepened fans’ respect. Following the incident, social media was flooded with messages of support and well wishes for Paulina’s recovery.

“We never want to let our fans down,” added Paulina, “but I was genuinely overwhelmed by the love and understanding we received. It reminded me why we do what we do — this connection we have with our fans is real.”

Fortunately, Paulina has since made a full recovery and The Warning resumed their tour shortly after, with renewed energy and gratitude. The band has expressed intentions to return to Querétaro in the near future to make up for the missed show.

While the Power Trio Tour continues to electrify audiences across Mexico and beyond, this moment served as a poignant reminder that even rock stars face human challenges. For The Warning, the show must go on — but not at the expense of their health and well-being.
