Brazilian gospel singer Pedro Henrique, 30, passes away onstage from a heart attack

Brazilian singer Pedro Henrique died on stage during a live performance on December 13.

The 30-year-old vocalist was singing his hit song ‘Vai Ser Tão Lindo’ at a religious event that was being broadcast online from a concert hall in Feira de Santana, a city in northeastern Brazil.

Footage of the heartbreaking incident captured Henrique engaging with the audience at the edge of the stage before abruptly collapsing, stunning both his bandmates and the audience. Attendees rushed to his aid, and he was swiftly transported to a nearby clinic, where medical professionals pronounced him dead.

According to Radio 93, Henrique’s record label, Todah Music, confirmed that the cause of death was a massive heart attack.

‘These are very difficult situations in life for which we have no explanation,’ Todah Music wrote in an Instagram post.

‘We just need to understand that the will of God prevails,’ they added.

The record label also paid tribute to Henrique, saying that he was ‘a cheerful young man, a friend to all. Only child. A present husband and a super dedicated father.’

Henrique is survived by his wife, Suilan Barreto, and his daughter, Zoe, who was born on October 19.

Barreto, who is a gospel influencer, had not made any public statements as of Thursday.

Henrique had expressed his fatigue hours before his performance, joking with a friend that he wanted fame because he was tired.

‘I’m tired, I’m tired. That why I want fame. I’m tired,’ he said.

Henrique started his professional career in 2015 when he uploaded some songs to his YouTube channel. He then joined a local band and recorded one album, ‘Grande é o Senhor,’ during his three-year stint with the group.

Henrique decided to pursue a solo career in 2019 and released his first single, ‘Não Falhou.’ He had planned to launch a new project on his YouTube channel on December 14.
