A goodbye by phone

The last hours in the life of the singer were dramatic. Carlos wanted to say goodbye to Geraldine with a call, before intubating her. “He told me how much he loved me and that he would take care of me wherever I went. I encouraged him by telling him that he was going to get ahead, but I knew that the situation was very complicated.”

The farewell to the Madrid singer has not been easy due to the circumstances of the Covid and the sixth wave that the country is experiencing. The long bureaucratic procedures for the repatriation of the body caused the wake to wait until yesterday, Monday.

The family set up visiting hours so that his “fans” could say goodbye to him. Since early in the morning, a security person arrived from the United Kingdom coordinated the access work to the San Isidro Funeral Parlor so that everything was according to the express wish of the family.

His Il Divo colleagues, URs Bühler, David Miller, and Sebastien Izambard, as well as the group’s producer, Simon Cowell have been devastated in saying goodbye to Carlos through their social networks. The members of the quartet could not travel to Madrid to say goodbye to their partner.
