Miguel Bosé’s interview on the program led by Jordi Évole had raised expectations since it was announced and the first progress was seen. The singer’s silence, disappearing from social networks after a season of furious denial in the face of the pandemic and messages with a strong political connotation, has only fueled the fire. A bonfire in which the singer’s obvious voice problems and the lawsuit he is pursuing against his ex-partner, Nacho Palau, have also served to fuel the connection of the four children they had during the 26 years they were together.
Bosé himself stated in the meeting with Évole that he had not given an interview to a Spanish television for five, six or seven years and that he agreed to do it with him because they have friendship and trust ties. The doubts that Évole expressed at the beginning of the recording about how he would approach his position with the singer in the face of the pandemic came true at the end of this first part of his conversation. Just at the moment when Miguel Bosé was seen on the brink of exaltation, most in denial and aware that, despite the fact that his position can lead to all kinds of criticism, he is the one who is well-informed towards the gullible flock that the do not realize the extent of the alleged conspiracy. “There is a devised plan that does not want to be disclosed. It’s not thinking I own the truth, it’s the truth. I am a denier, it is a position I hold with my head held high ”.
But that will be part of the next chapter. In the first, the singer was more Miguel than Bosé. He showed the most vulnerable and also unknown side of his personal life and confessed: “I have had wild years in which I discovered the dark side that we all have: drugs, wild sex, substances …”. He even explained that it started one night in 1988 or 1989 because of a heartbreak: “I called some friends at dawn and said, ‘I want to go to a party.’ That evening I had my first drink and put on my first jet, which lasted a week, it was very cheap ”.
Until 1991 he was “a bag” with the night and drugs. “I thought it was a necessary part, coupled with creativity,” said the singer. “But when consumption is a habit, drugs are no longer an ally and become enemies,” he said. Although there was one day when he said “it’s over!” And he could say goodbye to staying up late, “the clubs and the outings,” but not his addiction. “Cutting off that hard-to-deny fun took more time,” he explained. “It became a daily dependence, it started to lose its grace and caused serious problems. I came to consume almost two grams a day, plus smoking weed, ecstasy … I quit all day, seven years ago. As I walked up a flight of stairs to a stage for a rehearsal, my road manager said to me, “Everything is ready.” And I replied, ‘It’s over.
Without mentioning his ex-partner’s name or naming his children directly, the split with Nacho Palau and the separation of the four children they had when they were together were two key points of the conversation that came up when Évole asked to his voice problems. . Bosé replied naturally and with that strange tone that can still be heard when speaking: “My voice comes and goes. The root is emotional. I start to lose it the moment my family, the one I believe in … Well, it’s not called a family, it’s kind of a coexistence agreement that two people in a relationship have and decide to move on with a good atmosphere so that the children of both parties can continue to grow together like what they thought from the first day they were brothers. Words that in themselves reflect the gist of the lawsuit facing the ex-partner and Nacho Palau’s claim to join Diego, Tadeo, Ivo and Telmo as brothers and both as parents of the four children. The first twin pair – all carried by surrogacy – are Bosé’s biological children and the two youngest are from Palau
And the singer, turned into a person with clay feet at the time, continued to undress: “This all has to do with the little ones, but the problem is that it reaches the elderly. The elders are the ones who make the decisions and take the blows or bear the responsibilities. I was not prepared. When my relationship started to go bad, when love doesn’t exist, when infatuation is gone, when friendship and good vibes fade and when admiration is lost, when everything collapses …, in my case through discretion, for responsibility, also for education, wait a second. And it explodes. It breaks out badly and serious problems set in. And for me, one of those problems was the voice. Now I can speak, but I have no voice anymore, zero ”.
The confessional was broken when the reporter asked him if that was why he had been silent and nearly hidden. A question to which the singer reacted angrily: “To whom do you want me to show that condition? In Spain people really enjoy sharing everything, but when have I ever talked about myself? When did people know that I had a friendship? When did I sell something about my family, about my children, about my partners? When? My kids realized this and I wrote to them, ‘Daddy can’t talk, Daddy has to shut up because Daddy has to heal. No further explanation is required. I took it naturally, it was an exercise in humility ”.
The professional plans go ahead, but the tours are parked. Miguel Bosé takes part as a coach in La Voz México, the country in which he lives, especially in the south of Mexico City in a “beautiful, quiet place, surrounded by small towns”. In the program he sings live, but he admits that he has to warm up a lot and can only keep one song: “At the end of next year I will be ready”, he said in Lo de Évole.
Bosé also spoke about his father, the bullfighter Luis Miguel Dominguín, the one everyone has been dealing with for so many years and while acknowledging that he misses him, he also affirmed that they did not fit in because they were ‘the same’. “He wanted a firstborn, a hereu made for him,” he explained. And he said that his biggest confrontation with him, among the many out there, was one day when he went hunting with him, something the son didn’t like: “He made me hunt a doe. I shot her and killed her and at the time of stripping, which you do to bring the animals home later, a bambi emerged, who had days to be born. I reacted really badly, I hit him, called him an asshole and left. He called me a coward, but I got up and realized it wasn’t going to be easy. ‘
When he asked him if he felt more like Dominguín or Bosé, his most personal facet came to the fore, the one he tries so hard to protect from the gaze of others: “I suppose I am the result of two very strong DNAs and it shows in fatherhood. I am a single father … “, he said, refusing to acknowledge to his interviewer that he is a divorced father. And he further referred to his children:” With them I am loving, careful and authoritarian I am father and mother I have no father they are used to that from the beginning and we get along well He has never made it clear if he is referring to that aspect of his life two or four includes children.
