Rest In Peace, Vicente Fernandez.
You were the soundtrack of my life. My Mexican parents introduced me to your music. Your songs provided comfort & a sense of home from the first time I left home for basic training throughout all my moves.
You were an idol. You remain the King! ?? pic.twitter.com/o3SGaD8POt– Jose de Jesus Ortiz (@OrtizKicks) December 12, 2021

The last hours had been critical for the singer, because, according to official information, his health was already very serious, and it was practically a matter of hours for something of this magnitude to happen.
Thus, after several hours of uncertainty, Vicente Fernández, “El Charro de Huentitán”, has died at the age of 81 after being transferred to intensive care on November 30 due to an inflammation in his respiratory tract.
However, it was six months that “Chente”, as he was also known, was hospitalized since last August 6 after a fall he suffered at his ranch “Los Tres Potrillos”, a fact that ended up worsening his health.
