Julio Iglesias Says He Can’t Retire and Live Without Music
MONTEVIDEO – Spanish singer Julio Iglesias said in an interview published by Uruguayan newspaper El Pais that he will not retire from music because “I would not know how to live without it.”
The performer, who during the course of his career has sold more than 300 million albums, also said that he is in the process of re-recording his biggest hits in digital format, something that he feels is “unbelievable” because of the ease and speed of working with the new technologies.
That album will be first of a series in which he takes a look at the length and breadth of his career, an experience that he said “enchanted” him.
“If I were modest, I’d be lying. But the truth is that it enchanted me. ... There is always something to live for, something to fight for,” Iglesias said.
The singer went on to say that only now does he consider himself “technically” to be a singer, and he admitted to a certain amount of “embarrassment” regarding some of the albums he released in the past.
“It’s an objective belief. Today, I listen to ‘La vida sigue igual’ as I recorded it four decades ago and it makes me feel a little embarrassed, but not the words. It’s an historic song for me,” the singer said.
Iglesias also said that he doesn’t feel that he is a person who was born to be an artist, adding that his work and his success were due to circumstances.
“My situation was an accident, I played soccer but I wasn’t good, I was rather bad. I studied law, but I didn’t like that either, and ... (then) I was given a guitar as a present. That changed my life. Later, I (entered) a music festival and won, and if it wouldn’t have been like that I wouldn’t have been a singer,” Iglesias said.

Julio honored in Spain
Julio Iglesias received yesterday, at the Cervantes Institute in Madrid, two historic awards: the Latin artist who has sold more albums in history (300 million) and the artist who has sold more albums in Spain (23 million).
Both awards were given to him by Rafa Nadal in a very emotional ceremony.
Julio Iglesias: "Undoubtedly, this is the most important day of my career. It is the one that moves me, most deeply moves me. I am also very moved that my father and my mother are not here, as they are the very direct cause of this effort and of the passion that they gave me for life".
Rafa's words about Julio were very emotional: "Julio can win the hearts of everyone in the world. I can attest to that, because, wherever I go, whether dining in Japan or in the USA, at some point one of his songs is playing. I admire him not only for his music, but also for his desire to excel, because even after a lifetime of achievements, he keeps going forward. Julio is the person who called me in my most difficult moments, and he took a plane to sing at the presentation of my Foundation. It is an honor and also a great decision by my country to honor him today".
Julio said he was "grateful to the critics, to friends and to the people who, anywhere in the world, have bothered to go to a store or to a concert. "And he added: "Tomorrow I will believe it has all been a dream."
