After five decades of live shows, Mexican singer Vicente Fernandez played his last concert last year in Mexico City’s massive Azteca stadium.
The concert, which saw some 85,000 people in attendance, was broadcast in Mexico and the United States.
“To die on stage is to take to the grave what you most love in this life, your presence, your affection, your respect and your applause,” Fernandez told the audience.
The 76-year old announced his retirement in February 2012, and then again during his ‘last concert’ last year. But Chente lied, and sources close to him have confirmed that the Mexican giant is planning a concert in Chicago, a place that he call his “second home,” in November of this year.
