Popular Mexican singer José José, known as the "Prince of Song", has died at the age of 71.
The culture ministry confirmed his death on Saturday, describing him as one of Mexico's most-loved voices.
Known for his heartfelt ballads, José José's career spanned five decades, during which he received several Grammy nominations.
The crooner died at a hospital in South Florida following a battle with pancreatic cancer, media reports say.
The singer, songwriter and occasional actor, whose real name was José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz, rose to the top of the Latin charts in the 1970s with songs such as El Triste. He saw more commercial success in the 1980s, and the album Secrets, released in 1983, became his most popular.
R.I.P. José José . I hadn't actually heard of him until yesterday (when @"Gamer Nerd" mentioned his passing in his diary thread), but it's clear that he was a very successful musician who won over plenty of fans over the course of his lengthy career.
My condolences to his friends and family.
