[edit] Career

Juan is now a science teacher in Wisconsin. Alan (real name is Luis Erik Ibarra Miramontes) sang most of the singles of the last three albums and has obtained roles in the telenovelas Velo de novia and Clap. Alan, as well as Mauri (real name is Marcos Stern) and Charlie, became a solo singer after Magneto broke up. Charlie's brother, Flavio César, also launched a solo singing career. The first album of Mauri Stern is called Levedad and he has also produced albums for Kabah, Belinda and Imanol Landeta. Mauri also dated singer Fey.

[edit] Helicopter accident

The newest member of the band, Ricky (Ricardo Guillermo Abarca), had to be hospitalized in September 2002 in Guatemala when four of his fingers were severed by a helicopter rotor - he had been waving to fans who came to greet the band. His fingers were found by aid workers and volunteers and re-attached at a hospital in Guatemala, Guatemala. [1]. The band broke up that year and some of the ex-members made a return in 2001 as X Magneto.
