In the year 2016, Bimba Bosé told the media that she suffered from bone, liver and brain metastases, regretting later because of the media’s repercussion.

Her last 48 hours were spent surrounded by her family and close friends, except Miguel Bosé, since the distance prevented him from coming in such a short time. As a tribute, the uncle of Bimba published this emotive sentence in their social networks:

“Good trip Bimba, my accomplice, my companion, my love, my beloved daughter. Guide me.”

In addition, her ex-husband Diego Postigo, has published in his private account of instagram a video in which Bimba Bosé is singing while he accompanies with the guitar.
