“Rest in Peace Mr. Vicente Fernández. We regret to inform you of his death on Sunday, December 12 at 6:15 a.m," was the message on his Instagram account.
Fernández died on the same day as Mexico celebrates the feast of the Virgen de Guadalupe, or Virgin of Guadalupe. For Mexicans and Mexican Americans,It marks the date in 1531 when the Virgin Mary purportedly appeared to Juan Diego, an Indigenous Mexican, in the last of several apparitions. Fernández was known for iconic songs that were familiar to people across the Spanish-speaking world and U.S. Hispanics, including “Volver, Volver,”"El Rey" and “Por tu maldito amor.”
Que su alma descanse en paz. 🙏🏻
'Por tu maldito amor':... en algún lugar de la Unión Americana 🥳
