Mexican Legend Vicente Fernandez passes away at age 81 • 1940 - 2021
Vicente Fernandez first appeared on television at the age of 21 on the show “La calandria musical”. It was his first paid show. In 1970, just as Fernández was about to go onstage, his father died. Overwhelmed by the news but determined not to let the crowd go without a show, Fernández went onstage and performed.
Furthermore, in 1998, he continued to tour despite the kidnapping of his oldest son. (He was released 4 months later with a ransom of $3.2 million.)
Since the mid-'60s, Fernández's popularity in Mexico is likened to Frank Sinatra's and Elvis Presley's in the U.S. His albums have sold more than 50 million copies.
In 1998, Fernández was inducted into Billboard’s Latin Music Hall of Fame. On 11 November 1998 his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled.
Rest In Peace.
