Alex Ubago tells ‘The Late Xiu’ the truth about his number one fan who suddenly disappeared: ‘We were worried’

There are very fanatical fans. One of those who not only performs all the songs, but practically becomes another shadow of the artist. They follow every move, every concert, every record signing, as if it were their mission in life. Some take their enthusiasm to the extreme, demonstrating a devotion that seems almost eternal.

But of course, life takes many turns, and sometimes even the most passionate fans disappear as if by magic. This happened to Alex Ubago with a fan who was his biggest follower for a while… until she wasn’t anymore.

Changing the registry

The girl developed other, darker musical tastes.

On one of his first tours, Ubago noticed something special: there was always a girl in the front row, whether at soundchecks or concerts. It was all over the place, as if the tour program had been predetermined. It was impossible not to recognize her. Without a doubt, you can say that he was her number one fan. Or at least one of his great followers.

But suddenly it stopped appearing. No sign of his usual presence. “We were worried,” the singer admitted during his appearance on the program. Later Xu. Both he and his team came to comment on this: did something happen to him? Why did he disappear like that, without warning?

Months passed and there was no news of her. Until one day, when the singer was calmly walking along Madrid’s Gran Via, something unexpected happened. In the crowd, he spotted a familiar face heading towards him. “Damn, it’s her,” he thought in surprise. She was, without a doubt, a long-time admirer of his. But there was something else, something that made it difficult to fully recognize her. And then he realized: the girl was no longer the same.

Dressed in an Iron Maiden T-shirt, black nails and a style closer to the world of metal than melodic pop, the fan turned the page: “When I saw her, I knew everything. She and Ubago greeted each other, talked and the secret was revealed. She “moved into heavy music,” as the singer explained, and left the stage as an ardent fan of ballads.
