Just four months before the second anniversary of Paquita la del Barrio's death, tragedy has struck her family once again. On Wednesday, it was confirmed that Martha Elena Martínez Viveros passed away at the age of 47, the singer's adopted daughter. The news has caused a deep stir in the entertainment world and among the beloved artist's fans.
The confirmation of her passing came through Paquita la del Barrio's official account. "Today, mother and daughter are reunited in heaven," reads a memorial note full of memories and respect. "There are goodbyes that hurt deeply and words that will never be enough to express the emptiness left by the loss of a loved one. With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Martha Elena Martínez Viveros, daughter of our dear Paquita la del Barrio," it continues.

According to local reports, Paquito, the singer's former manager, shared details of what happened: "She was fine, and from one moment to the next she was gone, at such a young age," he said, explaining that it was due to cardiac arrest, something shocking, as he was not aware of any health issues. In recent days, Martha had traveled to Peru with her granddaughters, where she enjoyed a wonderful family trip. Martha Elena was found dead in Veracruz, where the local government of Alto Lucero posted a tribute in her honor, offering condolences to the Martínez Viveros family and recognizing the profound mark that the singer and her daughter left on the community.

Tommy John, the namesake of a revolutionary elbow surgery that has saved thousands of pitchers' careers over the past five decades, including his own, has died at the age of 83, Los Angeles Dodgers announced Sunday, Aug. 16.
John had been in hospice care at his home in Bradenton, Florida, and sent a message to the New York Yankees saying his goodbyes before the team's Old Timers' Day home game against the Atlanta Braves on Aug. 8, 2026, also thanking Dr. Frank Jobe, who performed his surgery.
"I want to thank the Yankees organization & the Steinbrenner family for giving me this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, along with all the friends & fans who followed me throughout my 26-year career," John, who pitched for the Yankees from 1979-82 and 1986-89, said in a statement.
"The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, 'Good luck, Tommy. Just remember one thing: whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don't, you'll always just be Tommy John from Terre Haute, Indiana."
John started his major league career with Cleveland in 1963, before pitching with the Chicago White Sox from 1965-71.

It's Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it's time for our weekly social media roundup! The Trade Deadline is in the rearview mirror, a top prospect has made his MLB debut, and the heavens opened up and brought a deluge to the Bronx. And while Yankees fans have certainly made their opinions about this week known — oh boy, they sure have — the players, coaches, broadcasters, and yes, even reporters have remained active on the feed. What have they been up to this week? Let's find out!
For those who opted not to take Latin in high school or college (shame, shame, shame), "ave atque vale" is the ending of Catullus poem 101, and translates as "hail and farewell." While the line was originally composed as a funerary gift (the poem is addressed to the "mute ashes" of Catullus's brother), it has taken on a life of its own, and has been used as the ***** le of a now-lost British film from the 1930s, the name of a transfer-of-command military dinner, and several songs in multiple languages, all dealing with simultaneous greetings and farewells.
Thus, it is an appropriate ***** le for the various "hellos" and "goodbyes" posted on social media at this year's trade deadline.
Rather humorously, we learned from the Washington Nationals that Jack Cebert had DMed the Nationals back in middle school to suggest they trade for somebody (the original post was deleted, so, uh, we have no idea how good of a scout he is).
The trade deadline wasn't the only way the Yankees added to their lineup. On August 4th, the Yankees promoted top prospect George Lombard Jr. to The Show — where he homered in his second big league at-bat…right around the same time his brother Jacob, making his professional debut, also hit a home run in his second minor-league at-bat. How awesome is that!

Phil Collins' children came close to having to say their final goodbyes to their father.
The "You'll be in My Heart" singer, 75, has suffered from declining health in recent years, most recently spending time in the hospital last summer following a knee surgery.
In April 2024, he was also hospitalized in Switzerland, where he was unconscious as a result of his heavy alcohol use, leading his children to prepare possible final goodbyes.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Phil, who is a father to kids Joely, 52, Simon, 48, Lily, 36, Nicholas, 24, and Mathew, 20, explained how during the incident, his state was such that "there were some decisions to be made about 'Do we keep Phil on life support?' kind of thing."

When LeBron James came to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, he instantly made them relevant again after they had missed the NBA playoffs five straight times. He and fellow superstar Anthony Davis delivered the franchise the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2020, yet as time went on afterward, some Lakers fans soured on him.
There were quite a few Lakers fans who had wanted James gone for a couple of years, and on June 30, they got their wish when James let the team know he was moving on in free agency. He remains a free agent, and the organization has already moved on and started to ****** emble a roster around and for Luka Doncic.
Former Laker Derek Fisher admitted that he doesn't quite understand why some don't appreciate James' tenure with the team. Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who, like Fisher, won five NBA championships with L.A., urged fans to appreciate what the four-time MVP did while with the Purple and Gold.
"LeBron was a winner on and off the court, and Laker fans should appreciate his performance for the last 8 years," Abdul-Jabbar wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "If LeBron goes home to Cleveland, it won’t matter if they win the World Championship or not because his hometown fans will get their opportunity to say their goodbyes to one of the greatest ever."
Indeed, it seems the Cleveland Cavaliers are the team James is most likely to play for this coming season. He spent his first seven pro seasons with them, and after leaving in 2010 to head to the Miami Heat, he returned for four more years in 2014.

Fairytale goodbyes are a rarity in football.
Belgium's 2-1 defeat by Spain in the quarter-finals of the World Cup is likely to have marked the final bow of the four remaining members of the Red Devils' golden generation.
Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne and Axel Witsel have been mainstays of the national team since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, but their final chance of winning football's biggest prize ended with a mistake from one of their successors.
The injured Courtois, replaced midway through the second half, could only watch as Senne Lammens spilled an 88th-minute shot and ***** nal's Mikel Merino tucked home the rebound.
"Lammens doesn't cover himself in any glory. He didn't make a mistake for Manchester United last year but this is another pressure," said former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock on BBC Radio 5 Live.

After three seasons in College Station, Texas A&M star outfielder Caden Sorrell said his final goodbyes to Blue Bell Park after helping lead the Aggies back to the NCAA Tournament under second-year coach Michael Earley, leading the Aggies in several categories, and launching 23 home runs, tied for the fifth most in Texas A&M history.
After his injury-riddled 2025 campaign, Sorrell's importance to the roster was highly evident given the Aggies' struggles on offense when he was out of the lineup, and paired with the loss of fellow star hitter Gavin Grahovac, Michael Earley knew that any shot at returning to the NCAA Tournament in 2026 hinged on both players staying healthy.
This hope came to fruition, as Sorrell, who slashed 341/.434/.743 with 77 hits and 67 runs scored, also led the Aggies with 76 RBI, 11 stolen bases, and 20 doubles. One of the top MLB Draft prospects, expected to go late in the first or early in the second round, the Highland Village (TX) native is headed to join the Chicago Cubs, who chose Sorrell 62nd overall in the second round.
With a reported slot value of $1,487,200, Sorrell made the right decision to depart rather than return for a final season with the Aggies, giving the program everything he had and proving he is ready to continue improving in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Joining second baseman Chris Hacopian, who was selected 11th overall by the Washington Nationals, Caden Sorrell is the second Texas A&M player off the board.

Ross Stewart, Jack Clarke, Jobe Bellingham and now Eliezer Mayenda. All high profile departures from Sunderland under the ownership of Kyril Louis-Dreyfus — and to a lesser extent, feel free to throw in the additional departures of Charlie Wyke, Alex Pritchard, Lynden Gooch and Danny Batth.
Elton John once said that “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”, but he’s never had to accept not singing chants involving the ‘Loch Ness Drogba’ or the besmirching of Sam Fender.
For that reason, I’d argue goodbyes are far more painful than apologies. You’ll often hear people say there’s no loyalty in football these days and in an age of state-funded sportswashing, orange-faced meddling and ever increasing commercialization, it’s easy to accept that.
You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube and nor is it likely the trends of the game will change. But for every mercenary, there’s a Luke O’Nien; for every Will Grigg panic buy, there’s a Trai Hume.
So why does that matter?

Manchester United have had numerous players involved in the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup.
Three United stars have even scored their first ever World Cup goals, including Matheus Cunha, Amad and Lisandro Martinez.
Another two United players must say their goodbyes, as Cunha and soon-to-be official Ederson were knocked out by Norway after a stunning 2-1 win for the Scandinavians.
Cunha won an early penalty for his side, but Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimarães fluffed his lines and missed the attempt.
Speaking to Brazilian outlet GE Globo, Cunha opened up on how devastating the last 16 loss was to his nation.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was among those who paid homage to LeBron James when the latter confirmed that he was going to leave the Los Angeles Lakers this summer after spending the past eight years of his NBA career there.
In his appreciation post, Abdul-Jabbar floated the idea of James returning to one of his former teams while joking that he could run for a government position when he retires from basketball.
“LeBron was a winner on and off the court, and Lakers fans should appreciate his performance for the last 8 years. If LeBron goes home to Cleveland, it won’t matter if they win the world championship or not because it’s Hometown fans will get their opportunity to say their goodbyes to one of the greatest ever,” Abdul-Jabbar wrote on X.
“And who knows, one day he may become Mayor!!” he ended.

On the same weekend that Ben Stokes announced his retirement from international cricket, a former Premier League winner was staking his claim as an all-rounder.
Ten years after helping Leicester City complete a 5000-1 fairytale run to the **** le, Austrian Christian Fuchs had a cricket debut to remember.
The 40-year-old took two wickets, contributed to a run out and blew a kiss to a bowler after smashing him for six into a river.
But while Stokes was saying his England goodbyes at Trent Bridge, Fuchs was saying **** o at Bridge Field in Derbyshire, turning out for Grindleford in a Sunday friendly against Riverside Notts.
"The umpire said 'go easy on him, it's his first game'," said 23-year-old delivery driver Hasan Mahmood, the Riverside Notts bowler who got away with two dot **** and a wide before being carted over the boundary.

This summer is set to be a period of radical change at Real Madrid, especially in regards to the squad. Two players from the last season’s squad, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, have already left the club, while the Merengues have already completed the signings of Ibrahima Konate and Denzel Dumfries. Meanwhile, reports indicate they are also very close to landing Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella.
Similarly, they have already said their goodbyes to their former coach Alvaro Arbeloa and have welcomed another former coach, Jose Mourinho, back on the bench. The new manager is set to arrive with his own set of ***** istants, but reportedly also wants another new ***** istant, preferably a former Real Madrid player, in his staff.
For this role, the former Portuguese defender Pepe had recently been linked closely with the club. However, there are some other names being considered for this role as well.
In this regard, a recent report from Diario AS claims that Mourinho wants the former German midfielder Sami Khedira for this role, and has already been in talks with him for some days now.
Although he has no coaching experience so far, the German still fits well with the requirements of this role, as he was present at the club at one of its more successful periods, and despite not being the flashiest of players, still played an important role in his team’s successes during his time at Real Madrid.
