Roberto de Carvalho, widower of Rita Lee, used social media this Wednesday (8) to pay tribute to the singer and vent about her death. The artist died exactly 1 year ago, victim of lung cancer.
“Bleed my heart and then please calm me down. Bring back my soul. It alleviates this desire to leave. So much love cannot end in pain. I’m going to gather a lot of courage. For the last trip to you. See you forever, my love,” she wrote.
