It made me very nostalgic, because talking about someone you have known, who has been with you, who we have made songs, who we have worked together, not only here in Spain but also abroad... And it is someone who does not is there, and then you see it there, you say: 'God, what a shame', but how nice that so much of what he did can remain," he confessed.
