Miguel Ríos returns, again

If the United States created Elvis Presley, we had Miguel Ríos. The king of rock (75) has apparently been retired for almost a decade, enjoying a pleasant, if discreet, life with his partner, Regina. He is not known luxuries , he does not go to Saraos and little is known about his personal life .

In his teens he worked in a department store in Granada in the record section and in his spare time he recorded models with several friends. Shy in love relationships, he let the girls take the first step. He lost his virginity at age 14, he said in his autobiography, Things I always wanted to tell you .

After sending a tape to a Madrid label, he decided to travel to the capital with 1,500 pesetas (9 euros) in the early 60s in search of fame and fortune . Decades later Antonio Banderas did the same from Madrid. He did not like to be baptized as Mike Rios the king of the twist , since his rocky vein flowed through his veins. But you had to sell.

The success came 50 years ago when he began to travel the world with the Himmo to Joy , a version of the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony performed by composer and arranger Waldo de los Ríos, who committed suicide leaving the writer widow Isabel Pisano This unforgettable theme made him a billionaire.

Shortly after, in 1972, he lived one of the most difficult moments of his life when he spent three nights in jail for consuming marijuana . It affected him so much that it left him sunk. He got to try LSD, but always with a lot of respect. In 1979 he wrote the song A horse called death that became another kind of anthem against the consumption of heroin and that helped many people out of addiction. In the 80 was marked by two facts: the success of the album and the massive tour of Rock and Rios and its ruin to lose 300 million pesetas (1.8 million euros) with his tour Rock in the ring . The following decade was glorious with the concerts of El gusto es ours with Serrat, Ana Belén and Víctor Manuel.

More than five decades in the gap has made him earn enough money. However, according to the Mercantile and Property Registry, it seems that it has not practically invested in brick. The singer officially owns a two-story house on a plot of 98 square meters near El Viso (Madrid). At the corporate level, in the capital also, she is the agent of the company Promúsica SL (auxiliary activities to the performing arts) whose sole administrator is her daughter Lúa and the sole administrator and majority shareholder RCW Ediciones SL (other publishing activities), in the Your daughter also participates.

And as a curious fact, in Granada in 2005 invested in Training Investigations Developments and Applications in Neurosciences SL (clinic aimed at the comprehensive care of patients with acquired brain damage and other neurological processes), which has as sole administrator Jesus Ignacio Montoro Ríos and as empowered María Teresa Montoro Ríos. Together with their cousins, the social capital contributed is 100,000 euros.

Affable, Miguel Ríos has always been quite airtight in terms of his private life. In 1971, he met Margaret Watty in Ibiza, with whom he maintained a relationship of almost two decades, the result of which his only daughter, Lúa, vocalist of the We are Balboa group was born, who has passed without sorrow or glory here. In recent years he shares his life with Regina.

At 75, he maintains a great physical form, the result of his healthy lifestyle and sport - he has played football and has been a regular at the gym. Although the king of rock announced his retirement in 2010, eight years later, he stepped back on some stages, with the Symphonicn Rios tour, such as the Starlite festival in Marbella, where it was all the rage.
