The Internet is in mourning. José Abelardo Gutiérrez Alanya, better known as Tongo, passed away last night after a long struggle with kidney failure. This disease, added to his diabetes, caused the Peruvian celebrity’s last weeks to be very hard, but as different members of his family shared on social networks he had the opportunity to spend his last moments with his loved ones. And, in these same social networks, his followers have posted different messages of support to the family, a show of affection to which they have added their memories of some of the singer’s best moments.
Such has been the commotion caused by the death of the celebrity that, since its announcement, Tongo is among the trends on platforms such as Twitter. Thus, figures like Jordi Wild, with whom he had his ups and downs as he himself acknowledged, took advantage of the moment to send a message of support to the family and point out that he hopes Tongo continues singing and making others laugh on the other side. And, like him, many other personalities remembered the best moments of the late singer. In fact, many have rescued a famous Auronplay video published in 2017 in which he showed some very popular excerpts of Tongo.
Those who knew him will remember Tongo for his unique interpretations of historical themes in English. Such was the impact of his videos that they transcended beyond Spanish-speaking creators and, for example, reached the lives of historical YouTube personalities such as PewDiePie. Therefore, today the internet is in mourning as they have lost one of the most representative figures of it. Like many other people from all corners of the world, from Softonic we join the messages of encouragement to the family and offer our support to it. Without Tongo and his videos, the web would not be what it is today.
