Marília Mendonça, one of Brazil's most popular contemporary singers, has been killed in a plane crash at the age of 26, officials say. Four other people - her uncle, her producer and two crew members - also died in the accident in a rural area in south-eastern Minas Gerais state.A Latin Grammy winner in 2019, Mendonça became famous for focusing on women's experiences with failed relationships.

She was known as the country's "Queen of Suffering". Last year, as concerts were cancelled because of the pandemic, she performed in a series of online gigs. One of them set the record of the most-watched live stream in the world, with 3.3 million peak viewers on YouTube.Mendonça, who had a two-year-old son, was set to perform at a concert on Friday evening in the city of Caratinga, 12km from the crash site. Hours before the accident, she posted a video on social media in which she prepared to board the private aircraft.
