Singer José Luis Perales did not die at the age of 78: he is alive and in London

His name is synonymous with music. the spanish singer Jose Luis Perales, famous for cultivating the romantic song, was the victim of an internet rumor that ensured his death on Monday, August 7. But the reports of his death, as Mark Twain would say, are too exaggerated.

The news was initially reported by multiple outlets without citing a source, just the rumor on social media. Subsequently, the Spanish newspaper La Razón. Subsequently, the singer was shown in a video, which put an end to the rumors.

His last time in Peru

“When I started, I did a lot of concerts, I was away from home for a long time, I missed a lot of things about my children, who were little at the time. One day when I arrived from a tour at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport, they told me: ‘Don’t spend so much time outside because your children are going to forget you.’ So, I thought: ‘I don’t want to leave being too old or having a bad voice. I want to leave at a good time so that I can hug my children and grandchildren.’” José Luis Perales told El Comercio this year, as a prelude to the show he gave last March.

“I’m leaving happy because oddly enough I want to sit alone and write for other people and for myself. It’s a very nice return home because I leave many friends, applause, love and I have the chance to go back to where I started 50 years ago. Actually when I started singing, I didn’t want to sing, I wanted to continue writing songs for other people. They practically pushed me to sing”, he had the humility that characterized him.

“And how is he?”, “Yes”, “Doña Asunción things”, “Jealousy of my guitar” and other songs were not lacking in the show held at the Jockey Club’s Plaza Arena. But since his career was extensive, with so many classics, they couldn’t all be there that night. There were no songs like “Tell me”, “Thinking of you” or “Morir de amor”, which did not discourage the audience.
