Members of the family were contacted in Guipuzkoa, Spain, by unidentified kidnappers who demanded a ransom. Family members were left to worry for two days. A report in El Pais states that ‘the police have determined that the musicians are in good shape and at liberty after having suffered a virtual kidnapping.’
