A singer suffered a hear attack and died just hours after she had performed at a bar in Brazil, her family said.
Luna Alves, 39, was sleeping at her home in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso on Sunday when her husband, Guilherme Schreiner, woke up and noticed that she was unwell.
Schreiner, who is also a musician, told Brazilian news outlet G1 that he called the emergency services line and was assisted by doctor on the phone, who provided instructions until paramedics arrived.
'I went to bed at 1:40 a.m., and she was doing great. We started watching videos and then went to sleep,' he said.
'Around 5:10 a.m., I heard her feeling unwell in bed and got up to call emergency services. The doctor stayed on the line with me, helping me. Emergency services didn't stay long, but unfortunately, they pronounced her dead.'
Schreiner told the outlet that she did not show any signs of feeling unwell during her last performance.
A video showed Alves singing one of her songs as Schreiner sat next to her playing the guitar.
As she was settling down to go to bed, Alves recorded a minute-long video in which she expressed her thanks for all of the kind words she received at her show.
'I'm home, I'm going to sleep. But first, of course, I want to thank God immensely, from the bottom of my heart, for the gift of life, for the gift of my voice,' she said.
'And so, I am truly grateful. Only Him, only Him and I, deep within. And the people who work with me, and the contractors, friends, partners, the people who like my work.'
'It's great that you do work where people praise you, where people like what you do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Alves added.
'I received so many compliments, so many good things, so many requests granted today. I just have to thank you. And that's it. May God bless you and me. Kisses.'
Alves, who worked full-time with an agricultural company, began singing in 2019 and appeared about two to four times during the week at local bars and cultural venues in Cuiabá.
Just hours before she went to sleep and died of a heart attack, Brazilian singer Luna Alves posted a touching video on her Instagram Stories in which she expressed how thankful she was after she was showered with praise following her show at a local bar
She recently told one of her family members that she was looking forward to performing at the Chapada dos Guimarães Winter Festival in 2026.
Alves is survived by Schreiner, whom she was married to for three and a half years, and two daughters, ages 9 and 19, for her previous relationship.
'I love you forever, mom. My Lucinha,' her eldest daughter, Maria Queiroz, wrote on a tribute that was posted on the singer's Instagram.
'I lost a woman, I lost a partner, I just ask God for the strength to carry on,' Schreiner said.
