Chile born legendary bolero singer Lucho Gatica, who made Mexico his home for half a century, has died, his family said. He was 90.
"Bon voyage! I love you," his son, the Mexican actor Luis Gatica, posted on social media, together with a picture of a black ribbon.

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm very happy," the artist told EFE in an interview on the occasion of presenting his final disc.
