Preta Gil team confirms that wake will be in Rio de Janeiro and open to the public

Preta Gil’s social networking team gave new information about the singer’s wake. It will be veiled in Rio de Janeiro and the ceremony will open so that fans can say goodbye.

Preta Gil died last Sunday (20) in New York, where he was a cancer. The artist’s body has not yet arrived in Brazil, the team said.

According to the publication, there is still no forecast for body repatriation. The process involves an extensive bureaucracy. The team says they will announce the news on black social networks.

Earlier, Gilberto Gil’s press office said the ceremony will be at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Theater, as the daughter’s desire was.

The artist died as a result of colorectal cancer. She was preparing to return to Brazil when she got sick last Sunday (20).

In August of the last year, Preta said his cancer had spread to four points – Dais lymph nodes in the pelvis, a peritoneum metastasis and a nodule in the ureter. During the treatment, the artist lived between Brazil and the United States.

During the treatment, the artist even participated in the tour “We, us”, who joined three generations of the Gil family at the same show, and the tour in which her father said goodbye to the stage, “Time King”. In an interview with this newspaper, the singer stated that the performances were part of her healing process. “I’m weakened, but each night is a dose of adrenaline, love and affection.”
