Popular Colombian singer Yeison Jimenez was one of the victims who tragically died in a flight crash. Eerily enough, he had spoken about dying in a crash last year.
Columbian singer Yeison Jiménez had planned to deliver the best concert of his life, but fate had other plans. On January 10, 2026 (ET), the 34-year-old singer was on his way to a concert in Marinilla, Medellín, when the chartered plane carrying him and five other passengers crashed near Paipa, Boyacá, killing them on the spot.
As fans grieve Yeison’s untimely death, his final Instagram post and the Stories still visible on his profile have become haunting reminders of how fragile life truly is.
What makes Yeison's death eerily tragic is that he had a premonition about it not so long ago. Just a few days ago, the singer had openly shared how he had recurring dreams of dying in a plane crash. In a December 2025 interview on Se Dice de Mí, Yeison recalled a previous brush with death when he miraculously survived. He went on to say how in one of those dreams, he and his team had died, and they were all over the news. The Aventurero singer shared:
"I dreamed three times of getting into a plane crash... and in one of the dreams, I had dreamed that we had killed each other, and that we were on the news. It was the third time I had dreamed about that. God gave me three signs."
Whether it was a prediction of his fate or simply a big coincidence, the timing of it all has made the incident hauntingly tragic.
Yeison and his team boarded the chartered aircraft reportedly at 4:00 p.m. local time and were en route to Medellín, where he was scheduled to perform. Around six hours before that, the singer shared a short clip of his performance on Instagram. He wrote in the caption:
“Recuerden... si la carreta suena es porque va vacía (Remember… if the cart makes noise, it’s because it’s empty)."
Yeison had also posted a series of photos and clips on his Instagram Stories, some of which are still visible, adding to the rawness of the tragedy. As soon as the news of the crash spread, fans flooded the singer's final post with grief-filled comments. Many pointed out how eerily fragile life is, with some noting that they had just seen him hours ago, when he gave what has now become his final performance in Santander, Colombia.
According to Colombian civil aviation authorities, the aircraft, a Piper PA-31 private plane registered as N325FA, attempted to take off at its scheduled time from the Juan José Rondón Airport. During the takeoff, the plane reportedly struggled to gain altitude and crashed within seconds after leaving the runway near the La Romerita river, between Paipa and Duitama in Boyacá.
The plane was engulfed in flames, even though the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) was activated shortly after takeoff. By the time emergency authorities and police reached the site, the wreckage had turned to ashes, with all six occupants confirmed dead, turning what should have been another work trip into a devastating national tragedy.
Yeison Jiménez was born on July 26, 1991, in Manzanares, Caldas. Growing up, his life was marred by struggle and grit, which made his rise to fame more relatable to his millions of fans. He was just 14 when he began working to support himself while chasing his passion for music. In 2013, he officially debuted his first album, Con El Corazón – Volumen 1, and rose to fame with songs like Porqué la Envidia and the massive hit Aventurero, with more than 400 million streams.
Yeison penned more than 70 songs and became one of the biggest names in Colombia with eight albums to his name. In 2024, he became the first música popular artist to sell out a solo concert at Bogotá’s Movistar Arena. Hours before the crash, he had performed in Boyacá and was scheduled for an evening performance in Marinilla.
Yaison's journey ended far too soon, along with the lives of his close collaborators who were traveling with him. What are your thoughts on his recurring dreams before the tragedy? Let us know!
