Popular merengue singer Rubby Pérez was thrilled to be traveling to the Dominican Republic to escape the New York chill during his final performance in the city, just days before dying when the roof of the nightclub he was playing at collapsed.
Pérez, 69, was at New York’s La Nueva España restaurant on Friday when he informed his fans that he would be traveling to Santo Domingo the next day to enjoy sunshine and warm weather.
“And on Monday I’m heading out, so whoever wants to come with me, let’s go,” Perez said to the cheering crowd as he invited them to sing along to what would be his last performance in the US.
