Víctor Coyote dies at 68 in a bicycle accident
The news has hit the world of music and culture like a bucket of cold water. Víctor Coyote has died suddenly at the age of 68. According to initial reports, the death was apparently the result of a bicycle accident. Reactions were quick to come, and nobody is holding back: a genius and a one-of-a-kind figure, a true all-round artist.
Musician, singer, actor, writer, comic book artist and, let's be honest, a genuine homegrown sens symbol in his youth. That is what those who knew him keep repeating. Some describe him as a Spanish Adam Ant, always far removed from trends, incapable of chasing the current.
The shock has run deeper than usual. One fan admitted that celebrity deaths no longer usually affect him, but this one hit him as if someone close had died. Another said that just these days he had gone back to listening to his songs. That's how it goes: sometimes the farewell coincides with the work resurfacing.
What remains is the legacy of Coyote Dax, one of the greats of Spanish country music. And one last bike ride that ended in the worst possible news. Rest in peace.
