XAVIER FONT: AGE AND WHY THE CONTESTANT FROM ‘NIGHTMARE IN EL PARAÍSO’ LEFT LOCOMÍA
Born in Sant Boi de Llobregat, in 1963, in the 80s and 90s he became an icon thanks to the mythical group of fans. His fame was born in Ibiza, specifically at the KU nightclub, which would be renamed Privilege until its closure due to the pandemic.
With their music they came to succeed far from Spain, also being a success in Latin America. Although they began as entertainers and dancers at the disco, a record executive saw potential in them to form a group. Time proved him right.
Carlos Armas and Xavier Font were to blame for the dissolution of the group. Their continuous friction and fights to manage the image and the fate of the band also made them enemies with José Luis Gil, their manager.
Despite the fact that they came to publish a third album and planned to try to enter the US market, lawsuits with the company and the representative caused Locomía to dissolve in 1993.
Xavier is the owner of the rights to the songs and has managed to keep Locomía’s legacy alive in recent years, both singing their songs or creating all kinds of merchandising for sale.
SENTENCED TO PRISON
In 2009, when it had already fallen into oblivion, the name of Xavier Font returned to the present day after being arrested for allegedly selling drugs. «The pills were from a friend. The popper cans were mine. I sold them on the internet to acquaintances because there is a legality in that matter, “he confessed in several interviews.
After being released in 2015, he went to Cuba, where he met love after five years on the island away from the commotion in Spain. She herself is now happy with Harold, her partner. “I have been married for five years, my partner is 24 and I am going to be 59 in August,” he told El Mundo.
The names of Xavier Font and Locomía are once again making a name for themselves after Movistar has released a series about the success and fall of the group.
In addition, the artist enters the farm in ‘Nightmare in El Paraíso’ with Israel Arroyo , Marco Ferri , Mónica Hoyos , Gloria Camila Ortega , Juan Alfonso Milán , Pipi Estrada and Omar Sánchez , among others.
