This weekend, many said goodbye to one of the greatest performers to ever live – and we don’t mean Kobe.

Before the show started, other iconic singers of our times gave Chente a small tribute.

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.

So many emotions.
They killed it, obviously.

All 100k attendees sang with him when he started belting this one out.

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.

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.
