The Monitor’s Festiva magazine, Telemundo40 and State Farm Arena invite people to join in a vigil Tuesday evening to honor superstar singer Juan Gabriel.
Gabriel died at his California home Sunday just weeks before he was scheduled to perform in the Rio Grande Valley at the State Farm Arena.
His death provoked an international outpouring of grief from fans who have followed his career for more than four decades. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto called Gabriel, “A voice and talent that represented Mexico.”
Tuesday’s vigil, free to the public, will be held at State Farm Arena and begins at 8 p.m. Representatives from the Mexican consulate in McAllen, along with others who knew, worked with or were impacted by Gabriel are scheduled to speak.
Mourners are encouraged to bring a candle.
