The music world is mourning the loss of Pedro Henrique, a popular Brazilian gospel singer, who tragically died after collapsing on stage during a performance on Wednesday. His record label, Todah Music, made the heartbreaking announcement on Thursday, paying tribute to the 30-year-old and extending their support to his grieving family.
The Final Performance
Henrique was performing his famous song ‘Vaj Ser Tao Lindo’ at a religious event that was being streamed online when the incident occurred. He suddenly fell, taking his bandmates and the audience inside the Feira de Santana concert venue by surprise.
A video that has since gone viral on social media shows Henrique engaging the crowd. He was standing on the edge of the stage when he lost balance and fell on his back.
The Official Statement
In a statement on Instagram, Todah Music said (translated to English): “There are very difficult situations in life, for which we have no explanation. We just need to understand that the will of God prevails!”

Pedro Henrique was described as a cheerful young man, a friend to all. “The only son, a present husband, and super dedicated father. There is no pastor or Christian in Brazil who says anything different: – Pedro is simple, he is a believer! What a smile! How nice is that! What a voice! Our kind of people who are great to have around!” the statement further read.
The record company added that Pedro will have a place in the ‘heavenly choir’. “Maybe singing ‘The Cross was mine’… or reminding us that God will honor our descendants! The songs in his voice will not die and his legacy will live on through his wife, his daughter Zoe and so many lives that have been and will be reached by Christ through the records of his voice!”
A Legacy That Lives On
The music industry has lost a bright star, but Pedro Henrique’s legacy will continue to shine through his music and the lives he touched.
