Updated : Nov 6, 2021, 15:43 IST

Brazilian singer Marilia Mendonca tragically died on Friday when the plane she was travelling in crashed in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil. In a statement, Mendonca’s press office further informed that her producer, Henrique Ribeiro, aide Abicieli Silveira Dias Filho as well both the pilot and co-pilot of the plane were also killed in the plane crash. Marilia's death has come as shocking news for all her fans as just minutes before her plane took off, she had been active on social media, sharing glimpses of herself as she boarded the plane. Who would've thought that just moments later, she would be no more? The small aeroplane took off from the midwestern city of Goiania heading to Caratinga, where the 26-year-old singer had a concert scheduled for later the day she died, according to news reports. The cause of the crash was under investigation but state-run power company Cemig said in a statement that the aeroplane collided with an electricity distribution line owned by the company before hitting the ground. Marilia Mendonca was a very talented musician who rose to fame as an icon of the Brazilian country music style 'sertanejo,' winning a 2019 Latin Grammy for an album in the category. Mourning her demise, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said on Twitter that the whole country was shocked.
