Then, the king stepped out.
And everyone lost it, rightfully so.
That stage tho… built for royalty.

In classic Chente style, he threw back a few shots before each song.

If you’ve been to his concerts, you know it’s tradition.
He sang all his major hits, including this one that gets the tears flowing.

But one of the best moments was when Alejandro joined.

So many emotions.
They killed it, obviously.

It was probably one of the most anticipated songs, tbh.
After his last time to ever sing “El Rey” in front of an audience, the stage exploded in celebration.

Is anyone else tearing up? ?
This was a show of a lifetime for many.

Because not even Kobe’s 60-point game tops this for a Vicente fan.
After an almost 50-year career, this is how our king said goodbye.

He followed the concert with a heartfelt message on Twitter.
Siempre recordaré esta noche. Los quiero con todo mi corazón. Mi más grande agradecimiento. pic.twitter.com/zeYyiZeA37

All we can say is thank you, king. We’re eternally grateful.
