Buenos Aires, December 22 (NA) – Singer Pity Álvarez returned to the stage after a nine-year absence and far from going unnoticed, as he gathered some 35,000 people for a show that caused strong controversy over the way the concert began.
According to the Argentine News Agency, Álvarez appeared with dark glasses and staged an entrance that quickly went viral. He entered accompanied by a woman who performed a sadomasochistic-themed act, crawling on the ground with a collar around her neck, while the singer guided her and smoked a cigarette.
The scene concluded and gave way to the musical start with an acoustic intro of "El Rey," followed by "Intoxicado," one of the most emblematic songs of Viejas Locas.
However, the controversy did not end there, as during the show, Pity launched a message that was interpreted as a direct challenge, both to the Justice and to the criticisms that have surrounded him for years: "Only the Universe can judge me. Another god like me?" he said from the stage, sparking a new wave of comments and mixed reactions.
Let us recall that Pity Álvarez shot and killed Cristian Díaz in the Villa Lugano neighborhood during an argument. He later turned himself in days later, confessing the act and arguing that it was in self-defense.
Due to his mental health problems, the Justice system determined that he was not fit to stand trial, so the criminal process was suspended and he was ordered to seek hospitalization.
Despite the suspension of the trial, the singer has returned to the stage, which generates great controversy for Díaz's family, who demand that the law be upheld and justice be served.
To date, the case remains open, without a trial, and his treatment and progress are being evaluated under the Argentine mental health law.
