Colombian rockero Juanes is retiring, but don’t start crying yet. The performer says the hiatus will only be temporary. He’s been on the road too long, so he’ll be taking a year-long break to rest at his home in Medellín:
“I’ll devote more time to my family, many more hours in the studio and I also need to work more on the objectives laid out by my Mi Sangre foundation,” the singer told Globovision.com. Juanes hit it big with his album Mi sangre which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide since it was released in 2004 and has been the number one hit in 32 countries.
According to People en Español, Juanes will also be dedicating some time to a hobby he feels passionate about: gardening.

Good for Juanes as well a blessing for the Euro-Hispanic community [and Colombian people as well] eversince we’ve been attacked by third class stage performers & thug-oriented rappers is about time a white guy get recognized for his humanitarian effort & originality in his musical endeavor, i’m embarrassed of the Getto influence we see at the awards [that is] gangsta based undertaker and other ‘getton based rappers that only represent a small portion of the Latin American Community and there’s a whole bunch of white folks who feels left out and would appreciate to have given recognition as equal share of awards – long live Rock’nRoll en Español !!
