Lear Martinez's exit from La Orge de Van Gogh was undoubtedly one of the most talked about and controversial news of 2025, but we never knew how…
- Música Leire Martínez: The employee who left Van Gogh's La Oreja is much poorer than Amaya Montero
- Grupos La Oreja de Van Gogh took over the business and left Pablo Benegas.

Leire Martínez's departure from La Oreza de Van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most discussed and controversial news of 2025, but we don't know how the singer pulled the strings internally to avoid being the singer of the group.Until now.Because the LOC has access to information about everything that happened in October 2024. Although the events leading up to it actually began several months earlier, especially on June 22 of the same year, the moment Amaya Montero took the stage at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, she did not speak to the audience at a concert by Carol G.Her reappearance came after years away from public life and music due to mental health issues.
This made Xabier San Martín, Álvaro Fuertes, Haritz Garde and Pablo Benegas think about the possibility of renewing the group with her for some specific concerts on the occasion of her 30th anniversary.At first it seemed like a great idea, but they already had a vocalist, Leiro Martínez, with whom they had been dating for seventeen years.And being aware of these plans, far from being upset, she offered to sing together: Leir and Amaya on stage, the group's past and present united.That can't be.Amaya flatly refused and the boys supported her refusal.Therefore, Renteria was left out of the equation.On October 14th, the group released a unilateral statement via their social media, stating that their paths have since gone in different directions.Lear did not sign it, nor did he know that it was about to be published, but he had to submit to the decision;he had no other choice.
And he is not the only one who falls on the road.Not all members of the group are happy with the idea of Amaya returning.Pablo Benegas has always been close to the singer and, as David Insua explained a few days ago in El Despertor, it is not clear to him that he is ready to return to music in his style and heart, and the hope that this will do;His desire is to protect her.But he wanted to come back, and the other group wanted him to come back.He refused to listen and he thought he needed to take a step back and so he did.He decided not to take part in what he thought was bad because he was his best friend.
And they were moving forward.Without him.In any case without it.At the beginning of last December, they registered a new company connected to La Oreja de Van Gogh, which does not include Pablo Benegas.This new company will be responsible for the management of the following projects, such as concerts and activities related to the band's new phase, and will really strengthen the core of operational separation and decision-making, but remain part of the original community that Amaya has never stopped participating in even after starting a solo career.
Everything is not the same as the best country to start the journey, but as we went to the ticket to Tickevis to Tickevis, during their training.all that was done was: only months later he released his first version in the first way, there will be a fight to be asked to explain it.
It seems that this new step is fruitful for all parties.Leire stopped talking about her former colleagues a long time ago and brought out her true essence in her songs. My name has more than 10 million views on Spotify and her second most listened to song, Mariposas, has more than 4 million.More than solvent figures for an artist who, in fact, is starting out alone.
The singer is happy to be able to compose, which, as she revealed in an interview, she was never allowed to develop in the band.He is also happy in his personal life, as from 2022 he shares his life with Galician saxophonist Miguel Sueiras.As the singer revealed in La Revuelta, the couple has half a house in Puente la Reina (Navarra), where they live with the artist's 11-year-old son, the result of her marriage to Jacobo Rodríguez.
As for Amaya, her voice is back in style and La Oreja's new single ``We Are All Dancing to the Same Song'' has racked up over 1.5 million views.
As for his personal life, he has no known partner and it is possible that he will appear on the list of golden bachelors this year.
