Mexican singer Alejandro Fernández is making headlines with news of his potential retirement from music, coupled with the exciting announcement of his upcoming album and world tour. Known as one of the greatest exponents of ranchera music, Fernández has touched the hearts of millions with his powerful voice and emotional performances.
During a recent interview with Gustavo Adolfo Infante, the celebrated artist revealed his intentions to step back from the music scene, mentioning, "La verdad, yo me voy como en 10 años ya retirándome de la carrera". This statement has left his devoted fans both astonished and concerned about how long they will still have the chance to enjoy his performances.
Fernández explained his motivation for this decision, citing the need to enjoy more of life outside of the demands of his busy career. He feels the rush of work has taken away precious moments with family, friends, and his children. He stated, "Tengo mis cosas, mis ahorros y todo esto, que por estar viviendo en el ácido y en este rush del trabajo, lamentablemente no tienes los tiempos para poder disfrutar de los amigos, de la familia, de tus hijos".
Despite expressing future retirement plans, Alejandro emphasized he hasn't made any definitive decisions just yet. Fans rally behind him, filled with excitement for his upcoming album titled 'De Rey A Rey,' which pays tribute to his late father Vicente Fernández, another legendary figure in Mexican music.
Alejandro recently performed live at the Monumental Plaza de Toros México, where he delivered a moving rendition of "A Mi Manera," the Spanish adaptation of Frank Sinatra's classic song "My Way". He remarked to the audience, "Les juro que estos días he vivido una magia muy especial, porque he sentido que mi padre ha estado presente junto a mí en el escenario", underscoring the deep emotional connection he continues to have with the legacy of his father.
This upcoming album and tour promise to be one of the highlights of the year, filled with nostalgia and love for the ranchera music genre. Fernández has built a remarkable career spanning over thirty years, performing across 18 countries and breaking records along the way, including sold-out shows at the revered Plaza de Toros La México.
His contributions to music haven't gone unnoticed. This year, he received the prestigious 'La Excelencia' award at the Premios Lo Nuestro 2025, honoring his extraordinary impact on Latin culture and music. Over the years, he has won numerous accolades, including four Latin GRAMMYs, with his recent album 'Te Llevo en La Sangre' earning him the award for Best Ranchera/Mariachi Album.
Beyond music, Alejandro Fernández is also noted for his philanthropic efforts. Notably, he dedicated his Latin GRAMMY to hurricane victims in southern Mexico and has actively participated in campaigns to assist those affected by natural disasters.
While his potential retirement looms on the horizon, the singer's enduring legacy, strong connection with fans, and commitment to his craft are clear.
