Roberta Miranda is hospitalized after learning of Marília Mendonça’s death

The singer Roberta Miranda, 65, had to be hospitalized this Friday (5), in São Paulo. After learning about the death of her colleague Marília Mendonça, who suffered a fatal plane accident, she had a peak of high blood pressure.

According to Roberta’s press office, she was on her way to travel when she heard the news and went into “shock.” She had to be taken to the hospital, where tests were performed. “At the moment, she is fine, but per medical recommendations, remains under observation,” says his team.

Earlier, before news of the death was confirmed, Roberta Miranda published messages saying she was praying for Marília Mendonça. “May God protect you dear!” he wrote. “Nothing will happen to you or whoever was on the plane.”

After the news was confirmed, she published a video in which she appears crying a lot. In 2017, the two singers recorded together the song “Os Tempos Mudaram”, which is part of the commemorative DVD of Roberta’s 30-year career.

Miranda has her first show after the pandemic scheduled for the next 20th at Tom Brasil, in São Paulo. It has not yet been informed if the date will be kept.

Mendonça was one of five victims of a plane accident that fell into a mountain range in Piedade de Caratinga, a city 309 kilometers from Belo Horizonte. The singer had a concert scheduled for tonight in Caratinga, about ten kilometers from the accident site.

At the time of the accident, around 4 pm, Mendonça’s press office had informed that the singer had been rescued alive. Around 6pm, however, he confirmed his death.

Firefighters also confirmed the death of the singer’s producer, Henrique Ribeiro, and his uncle, Abicieli Silveira Dias Filho, in addition to the pilot and co-pilot of the aircraft.

The aircraft crashed near a waterfall while trying to make a forced landing, according to the Military Police. According to the captain of the state agency, Jefferson Luiz Ribeiro, initial information is that the aircraft’s pilot had problems landing at the airport, which is about two kilometers from the accident site.
