Trini Lopez dead: American star dies aged 83 from coronavirus complications 'Heartbroken'


Another social media user tweeted: “Trini Lopez was a legendary singer & guitarist — and he was one of my neighbors in the way that everyone in Palm Springs is a neighbor. I saw him at happy hours, parties, driving around in a convertible. He died Monday from Covid-19, and I’ll miss him.”

“He seemed like an extremely kind man — and, of course, what a unique musical talent. Plus, he may have been the least dirty of The Dirty Dozen. Rest in peace #TriniLopez.”

Trini, his full name Trinidad, was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1937 and grew up in the Little Mexico neighborhood.

After forming his first band at 15-years-old, Trini went on to land a Columbia Records contract with his band The Big Beats after Buddy Holly’s dad recommended them to producer Norman Petty.
