Yesterday was a day of honors for Latin singer-songwriter superstar Julio Iglesias before the start of a three-night run at the Las Vegas Hilton. Julio, 66, received an honor from the State of Nevada proclaiming June 10, 2010, as Julio Iglesias Day; the Las Vegas International Press awarded him the Maximum Hispanic Pride Award; and Clark County Commissioners also proclaimed yesterday Julio Iglesias Day.
Julio, one of the Top 10 bestselling music artists in history, has sold more than 300 million albums from his 77 CDs in 14 languages. His sons Enrique and Julio Jr. followed in Dad’s footsteps and are successful artists in their own right. Fun fact amid the World Cup frenzy: Julio was a goalkeeper for one of Real Madrid’s teams, but a car accident in 1963 ended his soccer career.
