Then Cedric was pissed that Juan went on the Deltron tour instead of continuing Zavalaz with him, so he teamed up with Omar again for Antemasque.

Juan did Deltron only because Cedric was busy with something else...

Juan update: Apologies for the lack of updates. I am back at work (albeit from home, like most) and visitation with Juan has been limited due to the insanity going on in our world today. However, I was able to spend the better part of yesterday with him and am really happy to say he's making such great progress. He is totally eating regular meals, 3 times a day, plus snacks. He often asks for Mexican food or Japanese rice; so I took some tacos, rice, beans, chips and salsa yesterday and he ate a bit (he doesn't eat quite as much as he used to just yet!) and really enjoyed it. He is doing very well in his therapies, and walked 90 steps using a walker and some assistance from his PT yesterday - the most steps he's taken so far. When asked to write down five restaurants, he started with @osteriamozza which is one of his favorites, and when asked to write down five musical instruments, he of course wrote "bass" as the first one. He seemed to grasp, maybe for the very first time, the severity of his accident and details of all that followed (the coma, the outpouring of love and support from all of his family, friends, fans, fellow musicians) and I think it struck him in a way it hasn't before. He was understandably overwhelmed by the sheer weight of it all - the challenging aspects as well as the positive. He said he is so lucky to have so much support so I wanted to make sure to share that message with you today. And please, stay safe and healthy, and at home as much as you can. Because one day when we can all gather to eat, attend concerts and just LIVE together in the same space, we all want to be there, right? xoxo :)

That is awesome! V inspiring to see him claw his way back. Maybe after all this Omar, Cedric, Jon Theodore, and Juan all come together again and make music. Maybe not. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

He walks! That’s the first I think we’ve actually seen of him up on his feet or at all for that matter! Keep pulling for the big guy!

Same. After early news, it sounded like he would never wake up. Hopefully he continues recovering to live a normal life and do what he loves doing.

Apparently new marilyn manson track coming out featuring Juan. Dunno if its an old recording

Safe to assume Juan isn’t playing bass right now, prolly still focused on physical therapy and getting normal life function back. Have to assume new Manson stuff he plays on was recorded before the accident.....I’m not into mansons music at all but good to see that music Juan worked on is getting out into the world

I think his wife wrote that he played some bass already but obviously he isnt fit to record yet

Juan is home!!

He looks pretty healthy in those photos.  I'm sure he still has massive hills to climb in his recovery and may never be 100% who he was, but this was some good news I needed.

Juan is home!!

best news in a while
