When Mexican pop group Rbd wrapped its historic reunion tour last year, Dulce María had two priorities: recovering her “mental stability” after 54 back-to-back stadium shows and writing and recording solo music again. On Thursday, the pop star announced that she’s finally back, releasing “Ojalá,” a collaboration with Spanish singer Beret, next week.

“It has been such a light to return to my solo career,” she tells Rolling Stone. “So many of my fans thought I wasn’t going to come back, but sharing this music news makes me so excited.

Rbd has finally settled a lawsuit with their ex-manager Guillermo Rosas. On Friday, the Mexican pop group’s Maite Perroni, Christopher von Uckermann, and Christian Chávez issued a statement revealing the band has agreed to pay the former manager less than half of the amount Rosas claimed he was entitled to for their Soy Rebelde Tour.

“Today being World Rbd Day, there is no better way to celebrate it than by doing justice,” the group wrote. “Finally, after a year, this matter has concluded. The truth is on our side.

Alfonso Herrera will always be a rebelde. On Thursday night, the Mexican pop group — currently comprising Anahí, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, Christian Chavez, and Christopher von Uckermann — performed for the last time on their 54-stop Soy Rebelde Tour, and Herrera, who chose not to join Rbd for the reunion, celebrated his former bandmates’ end of their successful run.

After 15 long years, Rbd are officially back! The beloved Mexican pop group - which was born out of the 2005 telenovela "Rebelde" and includes Anahí, Christian Chávez, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, and Christopher von Uckermann - reunited earlier this year for one final tour, the Soy Rebelde Tour. On Sunday, they descended upon San Francisco's Chase Center, where they were met by thousands of fans dressed in miniskirts, white button-ups, red blazers, and knee-high boots.

Although it's been years since Rbd's last performance (and Alfonso Herrera is notably sitting out the tour), it was almost like no time had passed as the band transported the crowd back to Elite Way School with an emotional two-hour set of their greatest hits. "Thank you for not forgetting us. Thank you for making dreams come true tonight," Anahí passionately shouted to the audience in Spanish. "Thank you for keeping us in your hearts all these years,...

Christian Chavez is fully embracing his queer identity onstage — and using his platform to slam Texas’ anti-lgbtq laws. On Friday, during Mexican pop group Rbd’s reunion tour opener in El Paso, Texas, Chavez — who is openly gay and from the state — slammed Gov. Greg Abbott and the recent anti-lgbtq policies he has signed into law during an emotional segment of the show.

“We’re in a really difficult moment in the U.S., especially in Texas,” he told the El Paso crowd in Spanish as large screens displayed an...

Christian Chávez has always been one of the most colorful members of Rbd. Throughout his original tenure in the Mexican pop group in the early 2000s, he sported practically all the colors of the rainbow in his hair, and he later came out as gay shortly before the group split in 2009. Now, Chávez is excited to be reuniting with his bandmates for an Rbd world tour, which kicks off in the US this summer.

"It's super special for me to have the opportunity to be with Rbd again with this freedom now," he tells Popsugar. "Now I have the opportunity to be myself. Now I have the opportunity to be on stage and I can be my queer self."

“Because a love so big never left.” On Thursday night, Mexican pop group Rbd re-released “Siempre He Estado Aquí,” the one-off single they dropped in 2020, when four of the members reunited for the first time.

“I’ve always been here/I never forgot you/Because a love so big never left/I’ve always been here,” the group sings in the track’s chorus.

Almost 20 years ago, the members of Rbd came together for the first time on the Mexican telenovela Rebelde. Quickly, the series — which followed teens who formed a band at a fictional private school — became a household staple, propelling the group’s members to make the show’s band a real thing. Rbd eventually became a sensation and a pop culture staple for many Latinos.

On Thursday, 15 years after Rbd went on hiatus, the beloved Mexican pop group announced that they’re officially heading on a stadium and arena tour this fall,...

Rbd, the beloved pop group formed on the Mexican telenovela Rebelde in the early 2000s, is back and teasing a potential reunion tour in 2023. It’s been almost 14 years since the group disbanded, but a recent Instagram video on the official Rbd account has fans excited about a potential comeback. The nostalgic video includes clips from the original Televisa telenovela alongside more recent black-and-white shots of band members Dulce María, Christian Chávez, Anahí, Christopher von Uckermann, and Maite Perroni. The video starts with Anahí’s character Mia Colucci saying (in Spanish), “You know what I dream about? I dream of being able to go back in time and that one day everything will be as before.” This is followed later in the video by Von Uckermann’s Diego Bustamante, saying, “Maybe we can’t go back, but we can still hold on to it for a while.” View this post...

Doris Anahí is sitting in a cafe in Mexico City, talking to Rolling Stone on the phone, when a tiny hummingbird lands directly in front of her and flutters its wings. “It’s my ancestors saying, ‘What’s up!’” she says with a laugh. She’s been in Mexico for a few weeks; she arrived first in Guadalajara and has been spending time working on music and connecting with family. Little moments like this happen constantly: She’ll see an animal or some kind of symbol in nature, and she...

Mexico City, Aug 21: Mexican singer-songwriter and actress Anahi, former member of the pop group Rbd, said she is not bothered or intimidated by the tabloid journalism and paparazzi harassment that can often make life unbearable for other celebrities.

'I've grown accustomed to living with that .. I don't have anything to hide in my life,' Anahi said at a press conference Friday in Mexico City, although she added that she gets annoyed when lies are published in the tabloids that 'affect other people'.
