In the upcoming Netflix documentary "Selena y Los Dinos," Selena Quintanilla-Pérez's widower, Chris Pérez, is providing a rare look into the life of the "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom" singer. Thirty years after Selena's untimely passing at the age of 23, Pérez, now 56, is reflecting on his late wife's meteoric rise to fame as the Queen of Tejano music.
Pérez, who was the lead guitarist in Selena's band, recalls that the constant touring and busy schedule took a toll on the singer. "Selena was always going, always on, and I think road life started to become pretty busy, pretty hectic," he says in the documentary's exclusive clip. Rather than scaling back, Selena found a new creative outlet in fashion design and costuming.
