Without a doubt, he is one of the most important singer-songwriters of Mexican origin in the industry, but Reyli Beard he faced the total loss of his career after facing addictions.
Now 50 years old, the one born in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, has been returning to his days of glory, but life has decided to take its toll on him, because today, the former member of Elephant looks very changed.
It was in the 2000s, when the biggest hits like “Since you arrived” or “Good love”, they were leading the different radio stations in Aztec territory, but overnight that stopped happening.
Who is Reyli Beard?
It was from 2000 to 2004 when the singer belonged to the pop group ‘Elephant’, but after four years, he felt it was time to find his own success and decided to make his own solo music.
In that period, the singer touched the honeys of fame without any problem, but he came face to face with alcoholism, and he himself shared his struggle with this disease, until almost 15 years later, in 2019.
And it is that in 2013, it was when everything he worked for crumbled in front of his eyes, so it was revealed that the singer-songwriter would have entered a rehabilitation center to be able to treat his addiction to alcohol, and even drugs.
But that was not all, because everything got worse when Barba spent a couple of hours in jail when the authorities found him smoking marijuana on public roads, and shortly after he had to enter a clinic and he did it in the former boxer’s , Julio Cesar Chavez.
“In total he will be six months, four in the clinic and two in what is known as a halfway clinic; he still has a long way to go,” a source close to the singer told TVNotas magazine in 2013.
How does Reyli Barba look today?
As expected, his rehabilitation process was quite hard and complex, but a fundamental piece was even Tatiana, with whom he has been for 17 years, so now he has decided to resume his career.
It was last April 4 when the singer released the single “I am going to tell you”which is already available on all platforms and has been very well received by fans, as many say it looks very different.
Thin, bearded and with a much more stable countenance is how the singer has been seen in his most recent appearances, since he has confessed that his physical, emotional and health are better than ever.
