Bogotá.- Colombian singer Yeison Jiménez, who died this Saturday along with five other people in a plane crash in the department of Boyacá (center), revealed 20 days ago on a television program that he dreamed of air disasters three times and in one of them he died.
"I dreamed three times that we were going to have an accident on the plane and that I had to tell the pilot to go and turn around. When he arrived he would say to me: 'Boss, thank goodness you told me because something failed, but I already fixed it'," Jiménez said on the program 'Se dice de mí', on Caracol Televisión, last December 20.

The artist added: "In one of the dreams I did dream that we had killed each other and that we were on the news", as indeed happened today in real life. The 34-year-old artist died this Saturday along with four of his collaborators and the pilot when his light aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from the airport in the city of Paipa (Boyacá) bound for Medellín from where he would continue for a performance in the town of Marinilla. In another interview, Jiménez explained that two of those dreams occurred during a tour of Spain and that in one of them the plane managed to take off and return due to a technical failure. In another dream, when fifteen days were left before the birth of his son, he recounted, the small plane crashed. According to his testimony, some time later he experienced a real episode in which, after taking off from Olaya Herrera airport, in Medellín, the aircraft he was traveling in suffered an engine failure and had to return in an emergency, an experience that, he said, deeply impacted him because "it was very critical".You can read: Colombian popular music singer Yeison Jiménez dies in plane crash
"That day I almost left, my baby (...) was crying," the artist narrated in the interview, in which he described that moment as one of the most difficult of his life in emotional terms. Jiménez, born in Manzanares, in the department of Caldas, was coming off of consolidating himself as one of the main figures of the recent Manizales Fair, where he played a prominent role in the musical programming. In addition, he had an intense concert schedule planned. Among his upcoming projects was a new presentation at the El Campín stadium in Bogotá, scheduled for next March 28, which was to serve as a continuation of the concert he offered there on July 26, 2025, considered by critics and followers as the peak of popularity of the popular music performer. With hits like 'Aventurero', 'Vete' and 'Mi venganza', Yeison Jiménez became one of the country's most in-demand artists and a key figure in the expansion of the popular genre to large stages.
