From Deadline
José José, the iconic Mexican performer known for his songs about love and loneliness, died Saturday after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 71. Popularly called “El Príncipe de la Canción” or “The Prince of Song,” José José died at a hospital in Miami.
Born José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz on Feb. 17, 1948, he grew up in a musical family and began singing and playing the guitar as a teenager.
José José became a household name after performing “El Triste” or “The Sad One,” while representing Mexico at a Latin music festival held in Mexico City in 1970.
Over the course of his decades-long career, he sold more than 95 million records worldwide, according to his official biography. He was named the Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year in 2005, and also received several Grammy nominations, although he never won.
José José is survived by his wife Sara Salazar and their six children.
RIP.
