Miguel Bosé is a living freakin’ legend. Maybe it was just his fate, or maybe it comes from being gifted progeny.

“[I’m most proud of] understanding the career that I’ve developed, that up until today I credit to the open connection I share with my public. They know what I am, and who I am, and my disposition. And that’s very healthy.”
