Singer Ayres Sasaki’s Wife Shares Heartbreaking Message After He Was Electrocuted And Died On Stage In Freak Accident

Ayres Sasaki’s wife of 11 months has spoken out after the singer’s sudden death during a concert.

On July 13, the 35-year-old rock singer performed on stage at the Solar Hotel in Salinopolis, Brazil.

During his performance, Ayres died after being electrocuted on stage and his wife has since spoken out about his death.

Some reports indicate that Ayres hugged a fan who was soaking wet, and when the singer hugged him, the contact caused a powerful electric shock to be sent through a nearby wire.

However, other reports suggest that Sasaki was playing guitar when he was electrocuted.

Regardless, it was reported that the shock electrocuted the singer and he died almost instantly – his death is still under investigation by authorities.

And Ayres’ wife Mariana Sasaki took to Instagram for the first time since news of the singer’s death broke.

It is not up to us to understand God’s plans, but it is certain that his will is always good, perfect and pleasing.

“I ask you to continue to pray. Our sustenance will come from God, prayers, friends and family. I have not been able to read all the messages yet, but as soon as I feel better, I will respond to each one. Thank you.”
