A poignant photograph of the late Argentine rock icon Carlos Alberto "Indio" Solari, taken just before his passing, has been shared by his close friend and caregiver, Gastón Daus. The image captures Solari in the private setting of his home's patio, offering fans a final glimpse of the beloved musician.

Daus, who was more than just an assistant to Solari for over 25 years, evolved into a deeply trusted friend and caretaker. He managed Solari's interactions with fans and musical groups, acting as a crucial link between the artist and the wider music community. Solari placed significant trust in Daus, even authorizing him to approve tribute bands and manage communications regarding fan tributes.

This close bond was evident in Daus's heartfelt birthday message to Solari earlier this year, where he referred to the singer as "the greatest, the friend, the boss." Daus also played a role in facilitating the installation of a commemorative plaque at Solari's birthplace in Paraná. His Instagram profile is filled with photos documenting their long association.

Beyond his connection to Solari, Daus is also involved in local politics, having been a candidate for councilor in San Miguel and an activist for Fuerza Patria. He resides in Bella Vista and has a daughter named Matilda. Daus's emotional farewell post on Instagram, accompanying the last photograph, conveyed the profound impact of Solari's absence, describing the pain of entering his room and finding it empty.
