Colombian singer Yeison Jimenez, who died Saturday along with five other people in a plane crash in the department of Boyaca (center), revealed 20 days ago in a television program that three times he dreamed of plane crashes and in one of them he died.
“I dreamt three times that we were going to have an accident in the plane and that I had to tell the pilot to go and give him a ride. When he arrived he told me: ‘Boss, thank goodness he told me because something went wrong, but I fixed it’,” Jiménez told the program ‘Se dice de mí’, of Caracol Televisión, on December 20.
The artist added: “In one of the dreams I did dream that we had killed each other and that we were on the news”, as indeed happened today in real life.
The artist, 34, died Saturday, along with four of his collaborators and the pilot, when his plane crashed shortly after taking off from the airport in the city of Paipa (Boyacá) bound for Medellín, from where he was to continue on to a presentation in the town of Marinilla.
The tragedy of Yeison Jimenez
In another interview Jimenez explained that two of these dreams occurred during a tour of Spain and that in one of them the plane took off and returned due to a technical failure. In another dream, when there were fifteen days before the birth of his son, he said, the plane crashed.
According to his testimony, some time later he experienced a real episode in which, after taking off from the Olaya Herrera airport in Medellín, the aircraft in which he was traveling suffered a failure in one of its engines and had to return in emergency, an experience that, he said, had a profound impact on him because “it was very critical”.
“That day I almost left, my baby (…) was crying,” narrated the artist in the interview, in which he described that moment as one of the most difficult of his life in emotional terms.
Jiménez, born in Manzanares, in the department of Caldas, had just consolidated his position as one of the main figures of the recent Feria de Manizales, where he played a prominent role in the musical program. In addition, he had an intense concert agenda.
Among his upcoming projects was a new presentation at the El Campín stadium in Bogota, scheduled for March 28, which was to serve as a continuation of the concert he gave there on July 26, 2025, considered by critics and fans as the peak of popularity of the popular music performer.
With hits such as ‘Aventurero’, ‘Vete’ and ‘Mi venganza’, reported Agencia EFE, Yeison Jiménez has become one of the country’s most popular artists and a key figure in the expansion of the popular genre onto the big stages.
