Otaola BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine musician Gustavo Cerati, a flamboyant showman who brought stadium rock to Latin America with his band Soda Stereo, died on Thursday at age 55. &quot;This morning, patient Gustavo Cerati passed away,&quot; said a statement from the Buenos Aires hospital where he was receiving care. Soda, as most fans call the group, shot to fame across Latin America and in Spain in the 1980s with a distinctive, harmonious rock-pop sound and a slick image that set them apart from other Latin rock acts and set the stage for future Latin American stars. As you taught me, 'I will use love as a bridge' which will keep us together forever.&quot; Guitarist and vocalist Cerati formed Soda with bass player Zeta Bosio and drummer Charly Alberti in 1982, just as Argentina's military dictatorship started to crumble following a brief war in the British-ruled Falkland Islands.</p><br clear="all"/>
