Biography of Julio Iglesias
The future idol of millions was born in Madrid, in the family of a housewife and a leading Spanish gynecologist, in September 1943. There was no scene in Julio's childhood dreams; he dreamed of advocacy, football, a diplomatic place. Football was more real until the age of 16, Julio Iglesias was even a member of the Real Madrid team, played in its composition as a goalkeeper, and quite successfully.
A car accident ruined his football career. Of all those who were in the car, only Julio was injured - he was diagnosed with a serious spinal fracture, his leg was crushed. In principle, there was no hope that the young man would walk or even get back on his feet. In order to somehow distract Julio from what had happened, he was allowed to play the guitar when the functionality of his hands was restored.
Thanks to the support of loved ones and his own titanic efforts, Julio managed not only to get out of the hospital bed, but also began to walk. Natural activity did not allow him to sit still, he needed movement. Football was excluded, and Julio switched to music - he received a vocal education at the Royal Opera Academy of Spain.
The singing career that brought Julio Iglesias worldwide fame and fame began in 1964 with the Benidorm Competition, after which he signed a fateful contract with the world's oldest record company, Columbia Records. This was the beginning of the tremendous success.
