In recent years, the Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was quite reserved about his privacy and that is why he was not seen in public. During the coronavirus pandemic, the interpreter canceled his concert schedule and since then there have been no images of him. Now, the Spanish program Sálvame revealed some photos in which Iglesias is seen on a beach in the Dominican Republic.

In the images broadcast during the program on Friday, August 14, Iglesias appears in a deteriorated condition, very thin and with a bandaged leg. 

Visibly skinny, the singer tries to move through the sand with the help of two young people in bikini who have to support him at all times, an image that is far from the state that Isabel Preysler's ex-husband usually shows on stage.

At 76 years old , these images were very surprising and the collaborators of the Spanish program were shocked. "He can barely walk, he is fatal" or "He is not that old, but he is very broken" , were some of the comments made on Friday. 

Other collaborators of the Spanish program debated the reasons that would have led Iglesias to the current state. "He is very physically broken, he has always been very flirtatious and does not accept to see himself like that," they said in the program. And they added that there are certain rumors that ensure that the interpreter came to suffer "almost a depression."

Added to the singer's health problems is the controversy over the paternity of Javier Santos, 42, who has spent decades fighting to be recognized as the son of Julio Iglesias. In May, in a last attempt to win this long legal battle, the supposed son of the artist made known to the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international genetic and scientific entities the results produced in his case of affiliation with Julio.

His lawyer Fernando Osuna explained: "Justice cannot contradict science. Science and justice have to go hand in hand, genetically it has been shown that Javier is the son of Julio Iglesias."
