Mexican singer Sergio Vega was murdered while on a national tour at the weekend, just hours after denying reports of his death, local media reported.

The 40-year-old singer, known as El Shaka, was driving his red Cadillac to a concert in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa on Saturday when his car was intercepted by unidentified shooters in a truck, reports said.

His murder came just hours after he told entertainment website La Oreja that online reports of his death were wrong.

"It's happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I've been killed, or suffered an accident," said Vega.

"And then I have to call my dear mum, who has heart trouble, to reassure her."

Remember back in '75 when Lefty Frizzell released his first record in a decade or so and then died?

I once had a dream--honest, I did--that Buddy Holly wasn't actually dead but living on an island somewhere. As soon as his survival was revealed and it looked like we were going to get some more great music he died.

(You see, it had to be a dream because Buddy Holly didn't disappear at sea or anything . . . )

There is a singer named Jenni Rivera who is from LA, but who is very popular in the same areas of Mexico. She received a death threat via Twitter from “Zeettas” a couple of days ago. Her answer was something like, “You are idiots. Real assassins don’t advertise what they are going to do, they just do it.” Sounds kind of like, “Mirame, cabrones, estoy vivo!” I hope she isn’t tempting fate. But she did cancel her wedding in Mazatlan, one can only assume for reasons of security and a desire not to endanger her guests.
