BarcelonaDani Martín announced through social media that he was canceling at the last minute the two concerts scheduled for this Friday and Saturday in Barcelona. The reason, "a family situation of extreme gravity". This Saturday the singer explained that his father has passed away.

"These two nights I was supposed to hold your hand, Barna, but my father needed it," he says. Through a message on Instagram, he explained that he had to return "urgently and without warning" to Madrid. "I was with him in his final moments, with our hands held; it was the most healing thing." The artist apologizes to his fans and thanks them for the support they have always given him and his family. "Sometimes, life rules," he states. "Fly high, captain!", the message ends.

In the background of the message is a song, titled Capitán, which is part of the album Lo que me dé la gana (2020), a track that speaks about Atlético de Madrid that he dedicated to his father, with whom he had gone to the stadium since he was 11 years old, a ritual that became a space for trust and conversation: "Las derrotas saben a victoria con mi capitán", the song says.
