Ayres Sasaki's wife of 11 months has spoken out after the singer shockingly passed away during a concert.
On July 13, the 35-year-old rock singer was performing on stage at the Solar Hotel in Salinopolis, Brazil.
During his performance, Ayres passed away after reportedly being electrocuted on stage and his wife has since spoken out about his passing.

Some reports state Ayres hugged a fan who was sopping wet and so when the singer hugged him, the contact led a nearby cable to send out a strong electric shock.
However, other reports suggest Sasaki was playing his guitar when he was electrocuted.
Either way, it's reported the shock electrocuted the singer and he passed away almost instantly - his death still being investigated by authorities.

And Mariana Sasaki - Ayres' wife - has taken to Instagram for the first time since news of the singer's passing broke.
Mariana - who wed Ayres less than a year ago - said on her Instagram story, as quoted by Istoe Gente: "[Translation[ I would like to thank you for every message of affection and comfort, for every prayer during this difficult time that we are going through. 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 that you continue to pray. Our sustenance will come through God, prayers, friends and family. I haven’t been able to read all the messages yet, but as I feel better, I will respond to each one. Thank you."
