Singer Julio Preciado officially confirmed his definitive retirement from the stage, a decision that will mark the end of one of the most recognized careers in Mexican regional music. The Mazatleco singer announced that he will go on a farewell tour that will begin in August 2026 and will last until the end of 2027, allowing him to meet again for the last time with the public that has accompanied him for decades.
In his message, Preciado was clear in explaining that his retirement is not motivated by health problems or lack of public support, but by a deeply personal decision: to devote more time to his family. The singer emphasized that he is leaving in artistic plenitude and with the support of his followers intact. “As an artist, I believe that everyone has already witnessed what Julio Preciado has done in his career. I’m not leaving because I can’t sing or because I can’t get people to the events. I am very happy to say that I have great support from the public. I am leaving because I need to be with my family,” said the singer.
A farewell with purpose and gratitude
Beyond the farewell tour, Julio Preciado surprised by revealing an act of solidarity that is part of his personal legacy.
As a token of gratitude for overcoming medical problems in the past, the singer announced that he will give a kidney transplant to a patient with kidney failure in Guadalajara.
The support will be destined to a person who has a direct donor, but does not have the necessary financial resources to cover the procedure.
Julio Preciado explained that this gesture was born out of empathy and his own experience.
And who wants to help someone who is struggling for a second chance at life.
This announcement has been received with respect and admiration, as it reflects a facet of the artist that is not very visible:
That of a man aware of his impact beyond music.
I'm leaving because I need to be with my family

The closing of a historic stage
With this decision, Julio Preciado brings to an end a career marked by successes, memorable collaborations and a deep connection with the public.
The farewell tour will be the last opportunity to see him live and celebrate his musical legacy.
For many U.S. Hispanics, his retirement represents the closing of a generational stage.
But also the confirmation that some artists know how to retire with dignity, gratitude and a human message that transcends the stage.
Julio Preciado not only says goodbye singing: he says goodbye leaving his mark.
