El Komander cancels gig after infant son dies

Alfredo Ríos, known professionally as El Komander, called off a scheduled concert in Hidalgo, Nuevo León, following the death of his youngest child. The event was set for October 31, 2026, but his team announced the cancellation due to the sudden loss.

Ríos revealed the news on social media on October 30. He shared an obituary for José Eliseo Ríos Ávila, an infant who was only a few months old. The post included a photo of the father holding the baby. A statement in the obituary prayed for divine light to guide the child’s path to eternal life and asked for family comfort in the belief of a future reunion.

In the early hours of October 31, Ríos posted a video from the funeral home where the wake is taking place. He showed the floral wreaths sent by well-wishers and spoke directly to the camera. He told the child, 'God take you little one, we love you so much.'

The singer’s team has not disclosed the cause of death or the specific circumstances surrounding the infant’s passing. They asked the public for understanding, stating that the family’s primary focus is on mourning. The cancellation affects ticket holders in the Nuevo León region, with the team indicating that the family needs space during this difficult time.
