Brazilian gospel singer **Pedro Henrique** died at age 30 after
collapsing onstage during a performance Wednesday night. His record
label, Todah Music, released a statement Thursday morning (Dec. 14)
confirming the news.
The cause of death is not yet known.
"There are very difficult situations in life for which we have no
explanation," the label wrote in Portuguese on Instagram. "We just
need to understand that God's will prevails! Pedro was a happy young
man, a friend to all. An only son. A present husband and a super
dedicated father. The Christian music sector is in mourning. The Todah
Music family is in mourning. Heaven in chorus welcomes an illustrious
son: Pedro Henrique! So long, dear brother! So long! May the Holy
Spirit comfort everyone."
_Billboard Brasil_ reached out to Henrique's team, who said that the
wake and burial will be held in Porto Seguro, Bahia, where the artist
was born. The singer lived in Guarulhos, São Paulo.
Pedro was in the city of Feira de Santana, Bahia, to participate in a
private event organized by influencer Lôise Abreu. The show was
broadcast live on social media networks. The influencer posted an
excerpt of his performance on her profile moments before Henrique felt
unwell and then collapsed onstage.
The artist was scheduled to perform in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
later this month. On Thursday (Dec. 14), Henrique's new single
"Medley: Levanta / Não Fica Assim / Descendência (Ao Vivo)" was
released.
Henrique is survived by his wife, Suilan Barreto, and his 2-month-old
daughter, Zoe.
