Gospel Singer Collapses And Dies Onstage, Caught On Video
Beloved gospel singer Pedro Henrique passed away on December 13, 2023, while performing at a religious event, according to the New York Post. Shortly after the 30-year-old singer took the stage, the singer collapsed while singing his song, “Via Ser Tão Lindo,” and members of the crowd rushed the stage to help him. His record label, Todah Music, reported that he suffered a massive heart attack while performing at the event, which was broadcast live on social media platforms.
What makes the footage so troubling is that the singer seemed to be fully lucid, and he was giving what appeared to be a performance of a lifetime.
Video footage of the incident is circulating the internet, but it’s not for the faint of heart.
The concert started like any other event, and Pedro Henrique was fully immersed in his performance. Shortly before Henrique collapsed, he stood at the edge of the stage, and urged the audience to sing along. What makes the footage so troubling is that the singer seemed to be fully lucid, and he was giving what appeared to be a performance of a lifetime.
After collapsing, Pedro Henrique was rushed to a local medical clinic, where he was pronounced dead. At the time of this writing, his cause of death is not known. Though it’s apparent that he suffered from a heart attack, we don’t know if he was feeling sick, or in poor health during the moments leading up to the event.
His latest single “Medley: Levanta / Não Fica Assim / Descendência (Ao Vivo)” was released posthumously.
Representatives from Todah Music made a statement following the event, and they are just as shocked as one would expect. The statement talked about the young singer’s legacy, and mentioned how he was in the prime of his life. Not only was Pedro Henrique a dedicated father and husband, the Christian music community has suffered an insurmountable loss of talent and personality.
Pedro Henrique is survived by his wife Sulian Barreto, and his 2-month-old daughter, Zoe. He was an only son, and a devoted Christian who used his music to celebrate God’s work and spread a positive message to all who were willing to listen. We didn’t just lose a once-in-a-lifetime voice, but a genuine figurehead of the Christian community who used the art of songwriting to unite rather than divide.
Though the music community is mourning this tragedy, his representatives are celebrating his life and legacy. His latest single “Medley: Levanta / Não Fica Assim / Descendência (Ao Vivo)” was released posthumously. In a statement found on Todah Music’s official Instagram page, they stated that the new release is a tribute to the late singer, who left Earth fulfilling his calling by worshiping God during his final moments on stage.
As expected, Pedro Henrique’s fans are absolutely devastated to hear the news, and it’s apparent that he will be sorely missed.
Pedro Henrique’s team told Billboard Brasil that his wake and funeral will be held in Porto Seguro, Bahia, where Pedro Henrique was born. As the music and religious community mourns his loss, they will also celebrate the impact he had on his community through the power of music and worship.
If there is anything that could be learned from this tragedy, it’s that we should embrace our loved ones, and live life to the fullest. But although Pedro Henrique’s passing was sudden, his music will live with us forever.
