In June 2025, rumors surfaced on social networks and video platforms about the death of Eduardo Hernandez, bassist and second voice of Los Tigres del Norte, announcing his death by means of a fake death notice with mourning tape, attributed to the death of one of the members.
However, although reports clearly indicated that it was Eduardo Hernandez, it was all due to confusion over a photograph posted on Instagram.
Official denials and tour activity
Specialized media in Mexico and the U.S. confirmed that Eduardo Hernandez is still alive and active, showing recent material from concerts in Pachuca and Puebla in April 2025. .
The official accounts of Los Tigres del Norte did not publish any mourning message, but rather the promotion of upcoming presentations, which reaffirms the falsity of the rumor.
But the confusion came from a photo of Eduardo Hernandez looking at the sky holding a medal and with a phrase that gave a lot to talk about: “I leave you my hugs. I leave you my kisses. Remember me like this”.
As a result, people began to think that it was the death of the member: “You’re scary”, “Don’t be scared, I’m just saving up for my dad to see you live”, “Sir, we’re not ready for those scares right now”, “You almost gave me something”.
Who is Eduardo Hernandez?
Born October 28, 1964 in Mocorito, Sinaloa. He joined Los Tigres del Norte in 1988, at the age of 15, as a multi-instrumentalist: accordion, saxophone, bajo sexto, guitar, keyboards and backing vocals.
