Rita told local media: “We know that his show was scheduled for a specific time and was brought forward, but we are contacting people who were with him at the time to understand how everything happened. We will summarize all the information in a statement that we will release to the press.”
He earned his impressive reputation and the title of “King of Encores” through tireless performances that often lasted up to 12 hours at a time. Adriano Freitas, another singer and close friend of Ayres, remembers him fondly: “We were friends in everyday life, even beyond music. He was a super charismatic guy, his talent was incredible. He was the best singer and guitarist in Belem. A great friend, very family-oriented, attentive to his friendships and to those who appreciated his work.”
Comedian Natto Almeida, a close friend of his, noted, “What will definitely stand out about Sasaki is his good heart and great politeness. I think that will be the lasting impression he leaves.”
The Solar Hotel, the venue of the ill-fated concert, also released a statement. “We are determined to support his family and take the necessary measures. We reiterate our commitment to fully cooperate with the relevant authorities in properly investigating the incidents.”
