Adrian Olivares
Adrian Olivares (born
1978) is a
Mexican singer. Blonde and blue eyed, Adrian became, in 1990, the first non-
Puerto Rican member of
Menudo.
Soon after Adrian joined, members from
Venezuela and
Argentina also joined. But then controversy rattled the group, as a drug arrest in
Miami International Airport against members
Sergio Glass and
Ruben Gomez and a sex scandal involving
Edgardo Diaz and former member
Ralphy Rodriguez threatened the music group. Out of all the members of that Menudo line-up, only Olivares remained in the group after the controversies had cleared.
Olivares retired from Menudo when he reached mandatory retirement age, at 16, in 1994. He is rumored to be starting a new band in Mexico, named
Maremotto.
