Gustavo Alvite, Vicente Fernández's compadre, assures that the singer did not die on December 12

Last 12 December the world of music was dressed in mourning with the death of Vicente Fernández , who remained hospitalized for four months waiting for a miracle to help him regain health; However, his family could have lied about the actual date his heart stopped beating , as disclosed by Gustavo Alvite through his Facebook page.

In the letter that was published next to a photograph of yesteryear in which it appears the announcer posing next to the “Charro de Huantitán”, was doubted the day the singer’s death was announced , as the family would have decided to use this date to further impact his admirers because it is the day the Virgin of Guadalupe is venerated.

“I am telling you this the night of Sunday 12 December, “official” date of the death of my friend for more than 50 years, Vicente Fernández Gómez “, Alvite wrote.

As part From the reflection in which he recalled important anecdotes, Vicente Fernández’s compadre surprised by pointing out that he “hits” the way the singer’s family decided to use the date to create “sensationalism ”and that he still has many things to talk about that story, but he does not intend to do so … at least for now.

“The theatricality and sensationalism with which the family handles the situation to the point of lying on the date so that it ‘has more impact’, ‘hits’ me in the spirit. I think my friend would not have accepted it nor deserves it. ”

And he stressed that for some years Vicente Fernández no longer decided about his life due to serious health problems that forced him to make the decision to retire in a dignified way, a situation that he himself confessed on some occasion.

“- Tavo, I no longer want to go out on stage because it gives me pity – he told me the last time I saw him. How much admiration, even more !, I felt for him. I lived their confinements before the important performances . -like a wolf- he would tell me “, he added to the letter.

He also recalled that he had the fortune to accompany him to many places inside and outside the country, but he did not hesitate openly point out Gerardo Fernández as responsible for his estrangement , since he no longer wanted to have another discussion like the one they had on some occasion.

“They ordered Juan José, his assistant, not to pass it on to me on his cell phone. They isolated him. They decided from then on for him. We no longer communicate. My friends used to tell me – go get it! -. Never went. He had already had an altercation with Gerardo, his son and there was no need for another “, he expressed.

He also assured that being away from the stage , from his audience and the applause, would have been what accelerated his ills.

“Still no one believes me that his deep emotions aggravated his suffering . He had already satisfied and overwhelmed his dreams and his fortune, but he had a great need of the recognition of those for whom he broke his soul singing. He no longer wanted wealth. He needed the warmth of the family that he left for a long time for his trade. Its proximity. He wanted to be the ‘Tata ‘ ”.

Finally he addressed his dear friend, who would surely have made another, less cold decision about his final destination , vain and focused on marketing:

“ You should have decided until the end, until your wake, just as you said that night of the inauguration of the VFG arena . Since I met you I realized that you knew how, when, at what time, with whom, how much, why and for what . You never looked for theatricality, flashiness or sensationalism “, he pointed out.
