This morning the Las Condes hospital announced they are going to do the firs face transplant in South America to a 29 years old man who suffered an accident when he was 18 years old. However, the doctors said they have to wait for a donor.

Foo Fighters Concert

The north-American band is composed by Dave Grohl (ex-drummer of the band Nirvana, and current singer and guitarist of Foo Fighters), Nate Mendel (electric bass), Pat Smear (ritmic guitar), Taylor Hawkins (drums) and Chris Shifflet (lead guitar).

The reason of their returning to our land on the 15th of January, after their last arrival in Lollapalooza’s 2012 edition, is that they’re making the world tour to promote their eighth album titled “Sonic Highways”, which will be able in the 10th of November, in two physical editions, a CD and a 180-gram vinyl, which will have 9 different covers, including each city in which they have recorded.

They’ll perform at the Estadio Naconal, 9 p.m, in which the tickets price will vary from 30.000 chilean pesos (the cheapest) and 150.000 the most expensive one, prices that have angered the public opinion due to their very high value, comparing to other countries.
