Selena Quintanilla’s Family: About Her Parents, Husband & More
Selena Quintanilla may be gone, but her legacy lives on through her music. The Queen of Tejano Music, who died on March 31, 1995, after being fatally shot by Yolanda Saldívar, was known for songs such as “Como La Flor,” “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom,” “No Me Queda Más,” and more.
As 30 years have passed, her family continues to ensure that Selena is never forgotten. They shared on social media, “Selena’s light continues to shine through her timeless music, her infectious spirit, and the love she gave to her fans. Her legacy is as vibrant as ever, inspiring new generations and reminding us all that dreams live on. We honor her today, tomorrow, and always. #SelenaForever.”
The note comes shortly after the Quintanilla family and Selena’s husband, Chris Pérez, revealed that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles denied Yolanda’s parole. They noted in a statement shared on social media, “While nothing can bring Selena back, this decision reaffirms that justice continues to stand for the beautiful life that was taken from us and from millions of fans around the world far too soon.”
