A top music star killed in a horror fireball plane crash eerily predicted his own death in a chilling interview in which he revealed he had a recurring dream he would die in an air accident.
Yeison Jimenez – who died alongside his musicians as they flew to a concert in Colombia – spoke on a podcast about his eerie premonition.
He said in the interview: “I start dreaming about a very delicate subject, which is that we were going to have an accident. I see it three times in my **** accident. I’ve never said this before, nobody knows. Three times, two dreams in Spain.
“The man shows me everything I had to do. Everything I had to do. I have a plane. I dreamt twice in Spain, on tour in Spain, that I arrive in Olaya, in Medellín, and the captain says to me, ‘Yer, we’re ready’.”
Yeison, a singer-songwriter who started performing at the age of seven, was onboard the twin-engine Piper Navajo he owned when it came down shortly after take-off from Paipa Airport in Colombia’s Tundama Province after failing to gain height
Onlookers could be overheard screaming: “It’s running out of airstrip” as it reached the end of the runway.
The other five victims were the pilot, the co-pilot and four passengers including 34-year-old Jimenez, who has performed in countries around the world.
His photographer Weisman Mora, who published a poignant last video of them on the plane as it taxied down the runway, has also been named as one of the victims.
The fatal crash happened just after 4pm local time on Saturday afternoon, two hours after Yeison and three members of his team were pictured buying cheese in a shop near to the airport where the singer posed for selfies with staff.
Yeison had written in a last Instagram post before boarding: “Always humble, because what God gives you he can also take away.” They were heading towards the city of Medellin near to the town of Marinilla where Yeison was due to perform.
Yeison Jimenez, full name Yeison Orlando Jimenez Galeano, was one of the most well-known artists of so-called musica popular, the term often used to refer to a folk music genre which originated in the north-west part of Colombia in the 1930s and 1940s.
He was one of the artists credited with revitalising the genre, publishing eight albums and writing 70 songs in his lifetime.
