El Rey, Vicente Fernandez Says Goodbye After 50 Years On Stage

One of the biggest artists of our time is Vicente Fernandez and this weekend he says goodbye to his beloved fans with a free concert in Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, called “Un Azteca En El Azteca”. The 76-year-old singer’s career began in 1966–50 years of hundreds of songs, awards, and even movies. As you can imagine, someone as great as Vicente Fernandez doesn’t just retire from the music industry, he is saying goodbye to performing on stage, but the living legend will continue to record music.

He not only left a legacy to his fans, but good vocals obviously run in the family, since two of his youngest son’s children, Alejandro, also have an interest in following in the artist’s footsteps. Camila, Alejandro’s daughter, recently launched her career as a singer.

All week fellow artists and friends of Chente have been sending him heartfelt messages because it’s the close of a chapter of his life that inspired so many artists. Here are a couple of his friends and artists that admire Fernandez and are honoring by singing some of his biggest hits and sending heartfelt messages:
