Preta Gil: Famous lament the death of the singer at the age of 50

Famous people used social networks this Sunday (20) to regret the death of Preta Gil. The singer, 50, who fought for the last two years against the complications of cancer in the gut, was hospitalized Sloan Kettering Cancer Memorial, located in Manhattan, New York, the United States, in recent months to undergo experimental treatment against the disease.

Presenter Luciano Huck thrilled the singer’s fans with a text talking about her friend’s courage. “My friend was gone. He fought with bravery, facing the pain with courage and smiles. The black was the black to the end. Strong, generous, luminous. Now he could not believe it. Maybe not even wanting. We were friends – with the capital – for over 25 years. Among so many talents she had, being friends with friends was so much. Not by chance, he left precisely on his friend’s day. “

The singer Thiaguinho lamented: “You will never leave me. Our love was never only from this plan… I’m destroyed. A piece of me that goes… a piece of my story… but your light will follow me. Like the light of this sun that illuminated so many moments of our love.”

Angelica declared her friend: I have no words. Just a silence full of longing and a heart overflowing gratitude. Gratitude for having you in my life, so close to me and my family, with your unique way of being, whole, present, true. You were friendly in the deepest sense of the word, those we take forever, even when the presence turns into memory. His strength, his light, his joy to live, even in difficult days, have always been an inspiration to me. You fought with dignity and courage.

“Black dear, you are already longing in our hearts. With your joy, your smile, your full laugh. Rest friend!” Wrote the director Boninho.

The singer Mumuzinho also paid tribute to the interpreter of “signs of fire”. “Black, you will always be synonymous with strength, intensity and truth. You lived surrounded by affection, spreading joy wherever you went. I feel honored to have divided so many moments with you, my friend! I take you forever in my heart. Go in peace, with your beautiful light illuminating the sky.”

“Today life got silent. My black friend is gone. I remember the first time she touched a trio in Salvador just her … We were thrilled, she had a shirt with the 100% black sentence. Because she is that: intense, true.

Alice Wegmann also lamented Preta’s death. “While I’m alive, I want to live!” You said this to us with a chest full of love, dream and faith… you always believed in life, Pretzel! And he knew how to live these 50 years with mastery and authenticity that served as inspiration for more people than he can imagine. You are the mother of my best friend, you are my family. “

Valesca Popozuda was one of the first to regret the death of the daughter of singer Gilberto Gil. “You fought so much, you fought to live and will rest in peace. I’m very sad because I know how much you wanted to live!” He wrote.

Preta Maria Gadelha Gil Moreira was diagnosed in January 2023 with adenocarcinoma, a cancer in the gut. After surgery and chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments, the singer even announced that the disease was in remission. In August 2024, however, she was public to say that cancer had returned more aggressive and in different parts of her body: two tumors in the lymph nodes, a nodule in the ureter and metastasis in the peritoneum.
