He died unexpectedly at the age of 52. “Torn from life. And then hung on machines for the whole week,” reports his wife in a 17-minute video. The pictures show her sitting on the beach with friends. It is dark, a heart of candles can be seen in the sand with a photo of the deceased in the middle.

She does not give details of the exact circumstances of death, only says: “Today I let him fly.” Everything happened very quickly and Alex Zapata “slept peacefully”. Her husband loved the time in Mallorca and recently said again and again: “If I die today, I’ll die the happiest person.” That he was on his favorite island when it happened gives her some comfort.

Alex Zapata had been appearing in Mallorca since 2018, creating a good atmosphere on Playa de Palma and in cult bars like “Krümels Stadl” in Peguera. The operators said goodbye to Instagram.

The singer’s fans are shocked by the sudden death and express their grief with comments on his account. “I’m stunned”, “My deepest condolences” or “I just don’t want to believe it” are just a few of the many contributions to the postings.
