Rita Lee’s husband, Roberto de Carvalho , used Instagram to publish a tribute to the singer’s 74th birthday, celebrated on December 31, and share a recent image with his beloved.
In the photo, published on the first day of 2022, the singer appears on the night of the turn wearing a hat and her usual colored glasses in front of a strawberry pie with two candles indicating the reached age. In May 2021, after check-up exams, Rita Lee discovered a tumor in her left lung and, since then, she has been undergoing immunotherapy and radiotherapy treatments.
“What a difficult year, my love! What an ordeal! My heart broke in many moments, and soon afterwards I was dazzled by all your demonstrations of courage, willpower and endurance. May after all the torment we are faced with a a time of peace, harmony and great health”, wrote Roberto in the tribute posted on the 31st.
Then he concluded: “All the best I can wish for you, you deserve a million times more. I love you, I admire you, I adore you. We are together yesterday, now and forever.”
This year, the singer and songwriter became the subject of an exhibition at MIS-SP, curated by João Lee, which had been planned and negotiated since 2018. The exhibition takes a colorful and sonorous journey through the artist’s trajectory. The event will be open to the public until February 20th.
