Sadness in the celebrity world! On Sunday night (July 20th), singer and businesswoman Preta Gil, who had been battling a serious colorectal cancer since 2023, died at her home.
Daughter of musician Gilberto Gil, the 50-year-old artist was currently in the United States, where she was undergoing experimental treatment aimed at alleviating or even curing the disease.
The cause of the death of the muse, who relied on prayers, positive vibes, and the support of a large part of the Brazilian public, was the worsening of her general condition, as she could not resist the complications caused by the disease.
Where was the singer?
A few months ago, Preta Gil left Brazil to try other ways to beat cancer. In New York and Washington, D.C., the artist was fighting for her recovery after undergoing delicate surgeries and several radiation and chemotherapy sessions in her home country.
In recent days, Preta’s family and special friends have been with her, sharing moments of relaxation, joy, and numerous photos with the celebrity on their social media. Many people followed her closely, and occasionally, Gil’s daughter appeared in someone’s Instagram Stories.
What have they been talking about recently?
Actress Carolina Dieckmann was one of the special guests on the program Encontro com Patrícia Poeta last month, and she opened her heart when talking about her dear friend.
“Today is a very emotional day for me, Patrícia. I wanted to give another message here, can I? Since they [the children] let it all out [the tears] here!” declared the star, who was authorized by the journalist to talk about Preta.
“Today, Preta [Gil] begins a new phase of her treatment in the United States. I’d like to ask everyone who loves Preta to give her strength, energy, and prayers, whatever you believe in. We’re very confident, so today I’m crying, everyone,” Carolina concluded, her voice breaking.
“We’re all rooting for her. Kisses to Preta!” declared Patrícia Poeta, showing her support and affection for the health of the singer, beloved nationwide.
