In 2019, the death of the iconic José José shook the entire world, as his career represented a before and after in the entertainment industry in Mexico, leaving a deep void in the world of Spanish-language music and also a legacy that continues to resonate among his fans and in popular culture. However, his departure also uncovered a series of controversies that are still on everyone’s lips.
With songs like “El Triste,” “Gavilán o Paloma,” and “La Nave del Olvido,” “El Príncipe de la Canción” won the appreciation of millions of fans not only in Mexico, but throughout Latin America and in Spanish-speaking communities in the United States and Europe. His ability to transmit deep emotions through his voice made him an unrivaled reference, and his influence is felt in generations of artists who cite him as one of their main inspirations.
Throughout his career, José José faced numerous challenges, including health issues related to alcohol and other substance abuse, which affected his voice and overall well-being. However, his resilience and dedication to his art kept him active in the industry until his later years, but according to recent statements from his son, José Joel, his death may have been due to the negligence of his last wife, Sara Salazar, and his daughter, Sarita.
José Joel makes strong statements about his father’s death
José José’s death in Miami on September 28, 2019, not only left an emotional void in millions of fans, but also unleashed a media storm focused on the circumstances of his death and the family disputes that arose almost immediately and remain to this day. The tension between his children, José Joel and Sarita Sosa, was palpable from the beginning, when mutual accusations arose about the singer’s management during his final days.
José Joel, José José’s eldest son from his marriage to Anel Noreña, has repeatedly expressed his concerns and complaints about the treatment his father received from his last wife, Sara Salazar, and his youngest daughter, Sarita.
It was during a recent interview with journalist Matilde Obregón where José Joel stated that his father did not die as a result of the cancer he had suffered, but rather due to the alleged negligence of Salazar and Sarita, who, according to his version, allowed José José to die in deplorable conditions in Miami.
Let’s be clear, he left here without cancer. He had a very strong cancer. They removed the cancer and he was in full recovery to endure another 10 years. Today, we know that he died of malnutrition, dehydration and in a hospice, all thrown at him by these people, declared José Joel referring to Sara Salazar and Sarita.
These statements intensified the already tense relationship between José Joel and the so-called “Saras”, as he refers to Sara Salazar and his daughter, and the family conflict became a matter of public interest, as on several occasions, José Joel suggested that Sara Salazar’s influence on his father was harmful from the beginning of their relationship. According to him, since 2006, when José José participated in the soap opera “La fea más bella”, Salazar already controlled a large part of the singer’s life and career.
He also said that it was at that moment that he began to suspect Salazar’s intentions, who according to him, had a plan to secure his future and that of his daughter at the expense of the fortune built by José José. And although this has been denied on multiple occasions by Sarita, the singer does not take his finger off the line and continues to point to them as responsible for his father’s death.
Five years after José José’s death, the wound remains open, especially for José Joel, who continues his fight to vindicate his father’s memory and clarify the circumstances surrounding his final days. This fight has taken various forms, from interviews and public statements to legal attempts to obtain clarity and justice.
The dispute has also had an impact on the public perception of José José and his legacy, as while some fans support José Joel’s version, others are cautious about the accusations and prefer to remember the singer for his music and artistic legacy, leaving aside family controversies.
