After a series of public controversies and disagreements with her sister, Simaria of the duo Simone and Simaria announced last Thursday (16) that she was taking a career break to take care of her health. Last Saturday (18th), Simone continued the schedule planned for the duo, performing alone in Conceição do Mato Dentro, Minas Gerais.
During the presentation of the song “Amiga”, black and white photos of Simaria were shown on the screen, wrapped in a frame with flowers. It didn’t take long for the tribute to become a joke on the internet. “Oh my god this party turned into a funeral,” joked one Twitter user. “Stop posting this video I can’t take the laughter anymore,” said another.

Simaria announced last Thursday (16) that he was “leaving the stage” (see full note below). The singer did not make it clear how long she would be able to do without performing with her sister. “Sure we’ll see each other again soon, be my sister Simone’s second voice in my absence. We’ll see each other again soon!”
All concerts already planned, like last Saturday (18th) in Minas Gerais, will only be performed by Simone Mendes. The country singer’s decision came after a series of public disagreements with her sister that caused fans to consider ending the duo.

Ahead of the announcement, fans on social media were speculating about a possible split, as audio of the duo’s discussion during the recording of “Programa do Ratinho” was leaked in early May.
Simaria told Instagram followers that they soon reconciled and that it was all a disagreement between the sisters. However, in the early hours of Saturday morning (10), the singer was more than an hour late for the duo’s show in Caruaru (PE) and the presentation was only started by Simone.
