Summary
"On August 28, 2016, Juan Gabriel died in Santa Monica, California. He was the greatest idol of Mexican popular music and one of the singer-songwriters with the greatest worldwide prestige. After a life marked by family tragedy, childhood abandonment in… a boarding school and the suffering of the young musician, his great effort and charisma led to the consecration of the artist with shows on multiple stages in America and Europe. Juan Gabriel, the singer-songwriter who turned his songs into a ode to love, died in a tragic and sad way, to the sorrow of his millions of fans, dismayed by his farewell, his eternal goodbye. But who was Juan Gabriel really? At what point did Alberto Aguilera Valadez, his real name, appear to sink into sadness? What was the Divo of Juárez like as a father, a friend, a lover? Marked by an extraordinary investigation, Javier León Herrera and Juan Manuel Navarro, expert journalists from the world of show business, reveal in this book what the last days of the Mexican idol were like, who his confidants were, what his last wishes were, and what feelings he had for his biological and adopted children. In this book, the myths about his sexual preferences are radically shattered, the causes of his failed relationship with Rocío Dúrcal are revealed, as well as which show business personalities hurt Juan Gabriel. This book portrays in great detail the man away from the stage to bring us closer to the human being burdened by the harshness of his childhood and the ever-threatening presence of depression; it also gives us the opportunity to understand the vain, explosive, seductive Juan Gabriel, the star who loved his country as passionately as he loved his fans." -- Translation provided by NLS
