What difficult time did William Luna have?
The national artist said that in 1995 (28 years ago) he went through a difficult period, because on a personal level he was not well. His separation from the mother of his firstborn and the departure of his mother affected him greatly. The artist said that he used to drink alcohol to try to avoid his problems.
“I had no future, I separated from the mother of my first child, my mother died, I was devastated. I ate dust, no one was betting on me and I dedicated myself to drinking vodka. It intoxicates me and intoxicates me. (…) I just wanted to extinguish the sadness, the bad moment. I was like this for a whole year. Several things came together. Every weekend I went to karaoke and sang everything that made me remember everything I had experienced, my mother. I didn’t understand that doing that was killing myself little by little, but I was screwed, without having achieved a career.“he told Trome.
