Singer João Gustavo, 20, spoke about the death of his sister, Marília Mendonça (1995-2021), through a message shared on the social networks of the duo he forms with Dom Vittor. The duo was released in May by the artist who, after the announcement, sang with them in “Serenata”, a live that took place on the 15th of the same month.
“The queen of the sertanejo, music, women… And all of us. A phenomenon, a light, a star, a friend, SISTER, partner and great inspiration. We have no words to describe the pain of this moment. We are incredulous. “, says beginning of the shared note this Friday (5).
The content continues and mentions the artist’s only son, Léo, who is almost two years old. “We hope that understanding and comfort reach the hearts of all of us, and that we have the strength to continue for her and for those who remain, especially little Léo”.
“Silveirinha, friend, uncle, father and best review companion, you taught us how to enjoy the best of life, always with a smile on your face and ready to take one, thank you for being the best uncle and friend in the world”, laments another excerpt from the note, which ends by offering condolences to the relatives of music producer Henrique Ribeiro, pilot Geraldo Martins de Medeiros and co-pilot Tarcísio Pessoa Viana.
Marília, known as the queen of suffering and one of the greatest voices in contemporary Brazilian music, died at the age of 26 this Friday afternoon. The information was confirmed by the Fire Department of Minas Gerais in a note sent to the press.
The singer was one of five victims of a plane crash that fell into a mountain range in Piedade de Caratinga, 309 kilometers from Belo Horizonte. The artist had a concert scheduled for the date in Caratinga, about ten kilometers from the accident site.
The fall occurred around 3pm. At first, it was not known if it was the singer who was on board the aircraft. It was the twin-engine resemblance seen in a video she’d shared on Instagram two hours earlier that sparked the doubt. In a comical tone, the publication showed Mendonça embarking and eating.
