Rebekah Del Rio, the talented singer known for her haunting performance in David Lynch’s film “Mulholland Drive,” has passed away at the age of 57. The Los Angeles Coroner’s Office confirmed her death, although the cause remains unknown at this time.
The news of Del Rio’s passing was shared by her nephew, Dan Coronado, on Facebook. He expressed his gratitude for having spent a beautiful day with her just two Sundays ago, where her incredible singing talent was on full display. Del Rio, whose stage name was a collaboration with her late husband, Uncle Phil, was known for her rendition of the song “Llorando,” inspired by Roy Orbison’s “Crying.”
Coronado fondly remembered his aunt as a gifted singer, emphasizing that her music touched the hearts of many. He also mentioned the tragic loss of Del Rio’s son, Phillip DeMars, in 2009, who succumbed to cancer at the young age of 23.
Del Rio’s legacy as a musician and performer will live on through her unforgettable voice and the impact she had on those who had the privilege of hearing her sing. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time as they mourn the loss of a truly talented artist.
