Argentine singer Fede Dorcaz has died at age 29.
According to TMZ, Dorcaz was slated to appear on the upcoming installment of the Mexican dance competition show “Las Estrellas Bailan En Hoy,” which translates to “The Stars Dance Today.” And after leaving dance rehearsals in Mexico City on Thursday night to drive home, he was reportedly attacked during an attempted robbery.
The Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City said Dorcaz was shot in the neck while trying to exit a road. He died instantly at the scene.
No arrests have been made yet, but authorities are currently reviewing CCTV footage, which shows four male suspects fleeing the scene on motorcycles.
Following the news of Dorcaz’s death, “Las Estrellas Bailan En Hoy” posted a message on its social channels about the performer’s death.
“The HOY family mourns the passing of our friend and colleague, Fede Dorcaz. We join in the grief of his entire family, his parents, and his girlfriend, Mariana Ávila,” the post began, per a translation.
“Mariana and Fede were one of our planned couples for the new season of Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy. Fede leaves a great void in our team. His memory and his passion will continue to inspire us always. Rest in peace, Fede Dorcaz,” the show’s message said.
Dorcaz released his debut album “Instinto” in Oct. 2024. The songs “No Eres Tú” and “Cara Bonita,” quickly became top 10 hits on Mexican radio. While his fanbase was mostly concentrated in Latin America, outlets like Rolling Stone Australia touted him as a soon-to-be international star, labeling him as “one of the most exciting artists in Latin pop today” in May.
