Dario Gomez couldn’t quit smoking
Jhonny Rivera, one of his singer friends and with whom he shared the stage, said that Darío Gómez could not live without smoking.
“Long trips were a problem for him, I remember that one of the tours in Europe, he didn’t know what to do with so much stress, since the flight to Spain lasted 10 hours, I remember that he told me: Jhonny I can’t conceive so much time without a ‘ pucho’, as he said to cigarettes”, Rivera narrated.
This fact was supported by an anecdote that his ex-wife and manager Olga Lucía Arcila recounted:
“I have a nephew who packed a pack of cigarettes inside his shirt, and every time he visits he brings him cigarettes and lights one for him, he says that Dario can’t do without these, since he smoked all the time.”
She also says that the tomb of the ‘King of spite’ is very visited, and that he keeps a lot of company, that buses even arrive from other cities to transport his followers to visit him.
