Brazilian Singer Pedro Henrique Dies On Stage From Heart Attack At 30 While Event Is Livestreamed

On December 13, during a live performance of his original song “Vai Ser Tão Lindo,” Pedro Henrique fell backward and collapsed mid-performance.

Henrique was a gospel singer who was performing for a religious event in the Brazilian city of Feira de Santana. The 30-year-old Brazilian singer suffered a fatal heart attack while singing. The incident was caught on video.

It can be seen in the footage that Henrique urges the crowd to sing along with the song by holding out his microphone, but when he comes back in to join, he is unable to find his balance and falls, slumping into his band behind him.

The footage of this event was being live-streamed throughout social media channels, including his Instagram account which has 1.2 million followers.

After the incident occurred, people rushed onto the stage to come to the singer’s aid while the members of the crowd stood bewildered and shaken. Henrique was rushed to a nearby medical clinic immediately and was pronounced dead upon arrival from a massive heart attack.

Henrique’s record label, Todah Music, released a statement confirming that the cause of death was due to a heart attack. They expressed that it was a difficult situation “for which we have no explanation.”

The label released a medley on their YouTube channel honoring the singer and his last performance.

The Brazilian gospel singer is survived by his wife and 2-month-old daughter.

Henrique is to be buried in Porto Seguro, the city where he was born.
