Brazilian singer Ayres Sasaki passed away tragically after being electrocuted during a live performance at the Solar Hotel in Salinópolis, northern Brazil. The incident occurred on July 13th, 2024.

Sasaki was in the middle of his set when a fan rushed onto the stage and embraced him. The combination of the fan's wet clothes and a nearby exposed electrical wire resulted in a fatal shock. The exact cause of the fan's wet condition remains unclear.

"What we do know is that his show was scheduled for a specific time and was brought forward," a family member of Sasaki told local media. "We are contacting those who were with him at the time to understand how everything happened. We will gather all the information and include it in a statement that we will issue to the press."

The Brazilian Civil Police are investigating the matter, while the Solar Hotel has released a statement regarding the tragic incident. "We are fully committed to providing support to his family and taking the necessary measures. We reaffirm our commitment to fully cooperate with the competent authorities for the proper clarification of the facts."

Sasaki was a highly respected figure in Brazil's rock music scene. Close friend and fellow musician Adriano Freitas paid tribute to his talent, stating, "He was the best singer and guitarist in Belém. A great friend, family-oriented, attentive to his friendships and those who appreciated his work." Sasaki is survived by his wife Mariana, whom he married just eleven months ago. Fans fondly remember him as the "king of encores," often performing multiple back-to-back sets.

Following news of the singer's passing, tributes began pouring in on his Instagram page from fans. "Rest in peace. Gone too soon. So tragic, sending love and prayers to his family and friends," reads one fan's message. "Your music will live on. God bless you. Peace and love always," another states.

Sasaki's untimely passing leaves a void in the Brazilian music scene. His talent, passion, and dedication to his craft will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
