The Spanish singer and songwriter Pau Donés , vocalist of the group Jarabe de Palo, died in Barcelona at the age of 53 as a result of colon cancer that he was diagnosed with in 2015, which he has been battling since then, according to the family.
Donés never hid his disease, openly spoke about his fight against it and participated in several charity concerts for cancer research, before and after retiring from the stage, in January 2019.
Pau Donés is the author of some of the great successes of Spanish music in recent decades, such as "La flaca", "Depende", "Humo", "Grita" or "Bonito", among other songs, which he captured in a dozen of published albums.
The owner of pop culture anthems like Bonito, La Flaca, Agua, Depende or Grita had recently announced his return to music after a year of retirement. His physical change was noticeable, but although the disease had made him lose a lot of weight, what he never lost was the smile.
