Shortly after, it was announced Lopilato had left the band. “I had no time for tour because of the work. I told our producer I could go on the next tour, but he obviously did not report that to Camila, Benjamín and Felipe. Thus everyone thinks I left the band. But, now, I can say to you that I will not be going back to Erreway, though who knows what will be in the future”, Lopilato stated for an interview for Bravo. 2006—present: Recent tours and activities|In the summer of 2006 Bordonaba and Colombo went to Spain to promote the compilation album, El disco de Rebelde way.
