Sorry, try again. It's Cheo Feliciano who died, salsa singer, not the blind guy who sang Feliz Navidad.

This is incorrect information. The deceased is Jose "Cheo" Feliciano,
78, also a Puerto Rican guitarist. The Jose Feliciano who released
"Feliz Navidad" has been blind from birth and is 70 and still alive, and
he wouldn't be driving a car.

The blind one is 68, not 70.
