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 life, although discreet, with his partner, Regina. No luxuries are known to him , he does not go to saraos and very little is known about his personal life . And less in these days of confinement.

In his adolescence he worked in a department store in Granada in the record section and in his spare time he recorded demos with various friends. Shy in love relationships, he let the girls take the first step. He lost his virginity at age 14 , as he himself recounted in his autobiography, Things I Always Wanted to Tell You .

After sending a tape to a Madrid record label, he decided to travel to the capital with 1,500 pesetas (9 euros) in the early 1960s in search of fame and fortune . Decades later, Antonio Banderas did the same from Madrid. He did not like to be baptized as Mike Ríos the king of the twist , since his rock 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 a la Joy , a version of the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony by the composer and arranger Waldo de los Ríos, who committed suicide leaving the writer a widow. Isabel Pisano. This unforgettable subject made him a billionaire.

Shortly after, in 1972, he experienced one of the most difficult moments of his life when he spent three nights in prison for using marijuana . This affected him so much that it left him sunk. He came to try LSD, but always with great respect. In 1979 he wrote the song A Horse Called Death which became another kind of anthem against heroin use and helped many people out of addiction. In the 80s it was marked by two events: the success of the album and the massive Rock and Rios tour and its ruin by losing 300 million pesetas (1.8 million euros) with its Rock tour in the ring . The following decade was glorious with the concerts of The taste is ours with Serrat, Ana Belén and Víctor Manuel.

More than five decades in the gap has earned him quite a bit of money. However, according to the Commercial and Property Registry, it appears that it has practically not invested in brick. The singer officially owns a two-storey house on a 98-square-meter plot near El Viso (Madrid). At a business level, in the capital also, he is the agent of the company Promúsica SL (auxiliary activities to the performing arts) whose sole administrator is his daughter Lúa and the sole administrator and majority shareholder RCW Ediciones SL (other publishing activities), in the his daughter also participates.

And as a curious fact, in Granada it invested in Training Investigations Developments and Applications in Neurociencias SL (clinic dedicated to the comprehensive care of patients with acquired brain damage and other neurological processes) in 2005 , which has as sole administrator Jesús Ignacio Montoro Ríos and as empowered María Teresa Montoro Ríos. Together with his cousins, the share capital contributed is 100,000 euros.

With an affable character, Miguel Ríos has always been quite hermetic regarding his private life. In 1971 he met Margaret Watty in Ibiza , with whom he had a relationship of almost two decades, the fruit of which was born his only daughter, Lúa, vocalist of the group We are Balboa, who has passed without pain or glory around here. In recent years he shares his life with Regina.

At 75 years old, he maintains a great physical shape, the result of his healthy lifestyle and sports - he has played soccer and has been a regular at the gym. Although the king of rock announced his retirement in 2010, eight years later, he set foot on some stages again, with the Symphonicn Ríos tour , such as the one at the Starlite festival in Marbella, where it caused a furor.
