An odd blunder by American country singer Jimmy Allen undoubtedly managed to eclipse the posthumous award for Best Regional Mexican Music Album presented to Latin music legend Vicente Fernández Grammys This Sunday, April 3rd
El Charro de Huntin received a prestigious award for the album A Mis 80’s, the last he presented before his defeat on December 12 of the previous year.

The 13-song album was released in December 2020 and won awards at the 64th edition of the Grammys.
The gala was held in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, although it has always been held in the city of Los Angeles.

To recap, the error in question occurred when singer Jimmy Allen, who was responsible for announcing the winner of the award, announced that the performer of “El Rey” was the category winner.
Allen then mentioned that unfortunately Fernández couldn’t attend the ceremony.
(Vicente Fernández) didn’t come either, but congratulations. It’s a great honor, even if you couldn’t be there today,” said the singer.
As expected, his reaction caused great controversy on the various social networks, where they criticized him more than he could because it seemed that in reality he did not know that he had lost his life and for many this was a great lack of respect.
