Alex Bueno died in New York on Thursday, 18 June 2026, at the age of 62 after complications linked to treatment for a brain tumour, according to reports and a statement from his team.
The Dominican singer, whose real name was Alejandro Wilberto Bueno López, had spent more than four decades shaping merengue and bachata, and his death closes a chapter in Caribbean music that felt bigger than one man.
