“Karen enchanted Brazil with her powerful voice and striking presence even in childhood, when she participated in The Voice Kids in 2020,” the post, which was written in Portuguese, read. “Since then, she has followed a luminous path, uniting talent, charisma and representation at every step.”

The post went on to describe Silva as an inspiration for others during her short life.

“More than an up-and-coming artist, Karen was a symbol of empowerment, especially for Black girls who found in her inspiration and strength to dream. Her music, her message and her joy leave a deep mark on all who met her and followed her journey,” the post continued.

It concluded: “In this moment of great pain, we send our solidarity to their parents, Manoella and Fernando, with friends, family and fans. May the memory of your light continue to guide us.”

Several days earlier on Monday April 21, another post shared via Silva’s Instagram account  and also written in Portuguese revealed that the singer was battling some serious health issues.

“Singer Karen Silva is facing a health problem and, at the moment, she is still under medical care, with the support and affection of her family and team,” the post read. “We ask for respect, empathy and prayers as she recovers peacefully. Any updates will be made by our official channels. We thank everyone for the love.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, a hemorrhagic stroke  “occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or bursts and causes bleeding in the brain. The blood increases pressure on brain cells and damages them.”

Karen is survived by her parents, Manoella and Fernando, and her boyfriend, Marcelo.
