Argentinian singer Fede Dorcaz has died. He was 29.
“The HOY family mourns the sensitive passing of our friend and colleague, Fede Dorcaz. We join the pain that bears his entire family, his parents and his girlfriend, Mariana Ávila,” a Friday, October 10, Instagram statement from Mexican broadcaster Hoy reads. “Mariana and Fede were one of our predicted couples for the new season of Las Strellas Bailan today.”
The statement concludes, “Fede leaves a big void in our team. His memory and passion will continue to inspire us forever. Rest in Peace Fede Dorcaz.”
Dorcaz was scheduled to appear on Las Strellas Bailan — the Mexican version of Dancing With the Stars — upon its premiere later this month, just days before he died. Ávila would have been Dorcaz’s partner.
