Lupita D’Alessio retires with nostalgia and a ‘good attitude’

Mexican singer Lupita D’Alessio is overcome with nostalgia and at the same time the conviction that it is “time” to end her career of more than half a century on a high note and “good attitude” with the Gracias tour, in which she performs with her son Ernesto and whose next concert will take place this Friday in Inglewood, California.

“I feel very nostalgic because it is good bye, it’s something I’ve dedicated my whole life to, something I was born to do. There are mixed feelings; Maybe that phrase is very corny, but yes. It’s a bit of nostalgia, but also another need for my life to say it’s time. Just fine,” the actress also told EFE in a telephone conversation.

Interpreter of passionate songs like “I can’t wait to never see you again”, “Innocent Poor Friend” or “Sorry, my love”, he admitted that it was not easy for him to make the decision to say goodbye to the show.

“I’m seventy years old, I’ll turn 1 next year, but I think it’s time to enjoy, I enjoy the love of people, the applause, the production, my musicians. I think it’s time. There’s still some strength left, a good attitude, so that we can achieve this tour. Let’s go well, happy, happy and I believe that it will come true,” she said.

The tour, which kicked off last May in Mexico City and includes stops in various locations in the Latin American country and the United States, will make its next stop this Friday at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Los Angeles County.

The artist said this when she decided to Thanks Tour Her son Ernesto suggested that she go. “And I told him, ‘You’re absolutely right, let’s go together,’ because we’re talking about inheritance,” he said.

“Ernesto D’Alessio is an icon of musical theatre. He is a great performer and I think he can give a very nice twist to this tour because of his youth, because of his talent. He is handsome and he also sings his mother’s songs – mine – in concert. And he gave very good results. People liked it very much. Then they will have youth and they will have a legend,” he said.

He also admitted that it was very difficult to choose the songs that will be part of the tour. “Those are the most emblematic songs. If I were to calculate, I think I have 400 recorded songs. It’s impossible to put them in the show,” he explained.

However, he expressed satisfaction that his followers remember his songs and look for them on social networks.

“It’s so nice that people remember so many songs that I don’t remember; songs like ‘Daily Order’, ‘In Whose Name’, ‘This House is for Sale’, and they give you the titles and you say ‘How do you remember ?’ It’s unbelievable,” he said.

About his life in Cancún, on the shores of the Mexican Caribbean, D’Alessio (1954) He said it was “a beauty, a gift; it’s a blessing that I thank my God for.”
