Let’s all send Raul Malo, leader of the Grammy award-winning band The Mavericks, good vibes and best wishes as he battles leptomeningeal disease, a very difficult form of cancer.
If you’re not familiar with the band, do yourself a favor and dig in. Raul has been called “the Pavarotti of country music.”
(Notice he wears a Heuer Monaco, so he’s also a watch guy.)

Big fan of Raul Malo and The Mavericks, he never got the recognition he deserved.

Raul Malo passed away today, age 60 from effects of colon and another cancer. 🙁

Everyone, get yourself checked out, stay healthy.

Mavericks are a great band. Unfortunately, I wasn't hip to them until a couple years ago.

I just heard the news thanks to Mandy Barnett on IG. I loved The Mavericks in the mid 90s and had the good fortune to see a solo Raul show in the mid 00s at my local club. This is sad news.
