José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz (born February 17, 1948), known by his stage name José José, is a Mexican singer, musician and occasional actor. Born and raised in Mexico City into a family of musicians, José began his musical career in his early teens playing guitar and singing in serenades. He later joined a jazz and bossa nova trio where he sang and played bass and double bass. José found success as a solo artist in the early 1970s. Demonstrating his vocal ability with a stunning performance of the song "El Triste" in a Latin music festival held in Mexico City in 1970, he climbed the Latin charts during the decade. Having achieved recognition as a balladeer, his singing garnered universal critical acclaim from musical peers and media.

In the 1980s, after signing with Ariola Records, José rose to international prominence as one of the most popular and talented Latin performers. His 1983 album Secretos has sold over 7 million copies. With a large number of international hits, he received several Grammy nominations and recognitions worldwide. He sold out in venues such as the Madison Square Garden and the Radio City Music Hall. His music reached non Spanish-speaking countries like Japan, Israel and Russia. José has also forged a career as an actor, starring in movies such as Gavilán o Paloma and Perdóname Todo.

Also known in the entertainment world as "El Príncipe de la Canción" (The Prince of Song), his performance and vocal style have influenced many Latin pop artists in a career that has spanned more than four decades. Due to his vocals and popularity, José José is considered by the audience and the media as an icon of Latin pop music and one of the most emblematic Mexican singers ever.

Biographie

Through all of his career, José José has been widely open about his personal life with the press and the audience. He constantly grants interviews and answers questions about his family, friends, alcoholism, financial problems, health issues and other subjects.




Relationships, marriages and family
In 1970 he started a relationship with TV hostess, actress and model Ana Elena Noreña, known in the show business as Anel. That year they split and he married Natalia "Kiki" Herrera Calles, a socialite twenty years older. He separated from Herrera and returned with Anel shortly after. He divorced Herrera in 1975 and married Anel in 1976. They had two children: their first-born José Francisco (known as José Joél) who was born in 1975, and their daughter Marysol Estrella, born in 1982.

José told the magazine Selecciones that from 1985 to 1987, he underwent a serious personal crisis because his life "was spent on airplanes, tour buses and locked in a hotel room". In 1991 he divorced Anel. Several years before he finished his partnership with his manager Manuel Noreña, Anel's brother. In 1995 he married Sara Salazar, his third wife. The same year during a Latin American tour, his third child Sara was born. He lives in Coral Gables, Florida with his wife and youngest daughter.


Alcoholism
José has said that he started drinking at the age of fifteen, when his father (an alcoholic) left the house. Due to his alcoholism, he developed a cocaine habit.

He stated that his addiction was because he "was frail, weak, innocent, ignorant, weak-willed and did not know how to say no".
In the early 1970s after the success of "El Triste", he fell into alcoholism but with help of his friends and his family he managed to stop drinking for a while. His ongoing battle against alcoholism continued during the 1970s and 1980s. He attended AA meetings and stopped drinking for periods of time, but fell steadily into the addiction. After his divorce from Anel in 1991 he reached his lowest point, reportedly declaring that he wanted to die drinking. With the help of his friends, family, and other artists, he decided to go to rehab. He went to the Hazelden clinic in Minnesota for rehab. He remains a sober recovering alcoholic.


Health issues
José suffered from a severe case of pneumonia in 1972 and his thoracic diaphragm got paralyzed. The disease almost ended with his career. He recovered after months of therapy based on breathing exercises. One of his lungs got permanently damaged.

In 1987 he underwent an operation at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to remove nodes in his vocal fold as a consequence of the excessive use of cortisone before singing, alcohol and the lack of rest after many of his performances. José would suffer dire consequences from his problem with alcoholism, as his health faltered dearly during the 1990s. He developed diabetes.

In 2001, he suffered from a case of emphysema. The effect of alcoholism, the abuse of cortisone and his hiatus hernia, have not only affected his ability to sing, but also to talk. In 2007, he suffered from Bell's palsy. As a result of all these problems he has fought a serious depression over the recent years. He acknowledged this during an interview on the Univision program Don Francisco Presenta..., hosted by Don Francisco. He struggled with a diabetic retinopathy in one of his eyes; he underwent a successful operation. On 2012, he underwent an operation on his stomach due to gastritis. On November 2013, he underwent an operation to remove cataracts of one of his eyes.


Financial problems
José has made public to the media his current financial problems. Despite of being one of the most rented Latin artists for decades, his alcoholism caused him a serious monetary loss. His career declined when he lost his vocal ability, stopping the money income from live presentations and concerts. He claims that during his career he was constantly defrauded by people close to him, including former wife Anel and her brother. On November 2008, his current wife suffered from a cerebral haemorrhage, José stated that the medical bills nearly led him to bankruptcy. He said to TV Notas magazine that he and his family live "day by day" and on February 2014, he sold his $5 million house of Coral Gables.
