Bimba Bosé, Miguel Bosé’s niece passed away after battling cancer for two years. The Spanish singer, model, and actress was 41 years old and leaves behind two daughters, Dora, 12, and June, 5.
In 2014 the singer announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast and underwent a mastectomy. The cancer, unfortunately, spread and caused her metastasis in the bones, liver, and brain.
Metastasis is the development of secondary malignant growths at a distance from a primary site of cancer. When this happens, cancer cells break away from where they first formed, in this case, in the breast, and then travel through the blood or lymph system and form new tumors called metastatic tumors in other parts of the body.
Bosé went to the Hospital Ramón y Cajal de Madrid where she always said, “they treated me like a queen.” Before passing away she asked her family and friends not to be sad. “Thank your to everyone for your support during this difficult time and today is not a day of sadness because my mother did not like that, sadness,” said her 12-year-old daughter, Dora on Instagram Stories. “Today is a day to be happy for all those moments that we enjoyed with her.”
She died surrounded by her loved ones and her family will say goodbye to Bimba in privacy, read a statement released by her family. In 2007, she recorded a very successful duet with her uncle Miguel Bosé called, “Como un lobo”:
