Raphael is a man with many stories to tell, and in a recent interview with Jenar Castro in “Plano General” he shared some of his most intimate experiences. The Spanish singer, now 80 years old, spoke about his career, family and personal struggles, especially with alcoholism, which almost cost him his life.
But there was also time to remember other people who were very important in his life, such as his wife Natalija Figueroa and Julio Iglesias, who is an excellent colleague and not an enemy as some media claim.
He even referred to something that the translator of “I forgot to live” and his wife did behind his back when he was in poor health due to the collapse of his liver, which had to be replaced by a transplant.

Julio Iglesias and Natalia Figueroa did something behind Raphael’s back, something he didn’t know for a long time, Show España reported.
When the author of the song “Mi gran noche” was at his worst, the Madrid singer contacted Figueroa to find out how his friend was doing, and went so far as to call him daily to check on his health.
Raphael couldn’t help but be moved when he remembered those difficult times in his life and the concern his friends felt for him. “He’s always been very good to us,” Raphael said of Iglesias, making it clear that their friendship has overcome many obstacles over the years.
