That is sad. Have been listening to Vicente performing ranchera music with Linda Ronstadt and Mariachi Vargas from the late 1980s. What a fantastic voice he had.
Is it OK if one ax...
How did he die?
Was he jabbed? If so, how many times? ...if anyone happens to know.
Indeed a legend..
Famous in Mexico is he?
He must be.
The article says complications from a fall in August and other, unspecified ailments. From family experience, I know that falls often trigger a cascade of adverse health events in seniors.
RIP in any case.
Well, this is just plain sad. The man was very talented, and made some great music.
He and Tony Bennett did a nice version of RETURN TO ME.
