She said at Carlos’s wake in Madrid: “Before being intubated he said goodbye to me because he knew he wasn’t going to pull through and it was the saddest image in my life.
“He called me and told me he loved me like mad and that I was the woman of his life and asked me to take care of his family.”

Remarrying plans
Geraldine also revealed that the couple were planning to remarry again.
At the wake, she said: “We have been together for 30 years although you’d travel and we’d separate and get back together again.
“During these two years of pandemic we’d been together.
“We were going to marry and it’s not happened in the end.
“We had survived the pandemic and in the end the pandemic has taken him from me.
“He was the most kind-hearted person in the world, the greatest artist in Spain and the whole world. I still can’t believe what’s happened.”
The family speaks
Elsewhere, Carlos’s agent Alberto Martin said that his family thought he might have been saved if he had been in Spain.
Mr Martin said after Carlos’s death on December 19: “‘I spoke with his mum the day he died…
“She was saying she was convinced that if [he] had been in Spain, he could have survived.

“We don’t know if it’s been because of the care he received or the natural evolution of the virus and if Carlos’ mum said what she said out of the desperation she feels at his loss…
“… but the fact is they haven’t managed to keep him alive.”
