Vol. 5, No. 9, September 2009, Entertainment
Prodigal Sun
Puerto Rican-born and Mexican-raised singer Luis Miguel long ago attained international stardom as the “Sun of Mexico.”
Miguel first garnered attention as a child star when he released his debut album, Un Sol, in 1981 at the tender age of 12. An award-winning duet with pop star Sheena Easton followed, as did film roles, but Miguel waited until 1988 to release his follow-up album, Busca Una Mujer.
As an adult, Miguel has had countless hit records, including a trio of Spanish-language Mexican romance albums that catapulted him to worldwide fame. The singer also crossed over to English-language success when he appeared on Frank Sinatra’s Duets II before Ol’ Blue Eyes passed away.
These days, Miguel is touring the world to support a new album, No Culpes a La Noche, to be released later this month.
Luis Miguel plays the Colosseum at Caesars Palace September 12, 13, 14 and 15 at 9 p.m. Tickets are $86.36, $140.91, $168.18 and $227.27.
