Xabier Deive has gone like the Rock and Roll Star he was: discreetly / Very few of us knew he was a Rock Star / That was his style: not to make more noise than strictly necessary / Let his work and his characters speak for him / It is unfair, unexpected and very painful for the immense void he leaves us but I take comfort in knowing that he lived intensely and genuinely... and to have been one of the privileged ones who enjoyed it / He was direct and laconic for the important things / This statement would already seem extensive and sentimental, too much / I hear him telling me: “A ver, nacho, no te líes..." Say: ‘Xabi, foise’ E punto”.
