Pedro Henrique, a Brazilian gospel singer, collapsed on stage while performing on Wednesday and died in a frightening incident that was also captured on video.
Henrique, 30, was performing at a religious event in the city of Feira de Santana, Brazil, where he can be seen at the side of the stage passionately singing his song “Vai Ser Tão Lindo” to the crowd.
He then holds his microphone in the air and encourages the crowd to sing along. As he puts the microphone back to his mouth, he suddenly loses his balance, falls backwards and falls on his back in front of his band.
