I admire you even more after observing your respect in life and the departure of the love of your life,” wrote the presenter Serginho Groisman.

João Lee promised to take care of his father together with his brothers, beto AND Anthony Lee. “I will take care of you. We all will. With lots of love and care,” she said. Roberto de Carvalho and Rita Lee met in 1976 through the singer Ney Matogrosso.

In 2020 they interviewed themselves in an exclusive article made by Stadium. When asked by the singer why she “endures”, according to herself, “a strange woman, ex-con, ex-AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), ex-NA (Narcotics Anonymous), who doesn’t know how to cook, five years older, flat chested, flat ass and smoker,” Roberto joked that he was “driven by infatuation” during their years together.

“I can only visualize the antithesis of what is in this confession. When you come out as strange, I see originality and genius. Ex-convict for injustice, victim of repression. You don’t need to cook, I cook for you. The breastfed our 3 children. Five more years, no, more, and you know how much I love antiques. I have Venus in Capricorn, which will always help me reveal this Moon in Virgo of yours which I see manifest there in confession And what about AA and NA, well, “shit happens to everybody!”

Rita died last Monday, aged 8, at home, aged 75. Her body was veiled in a ceremony open to fans last Wednesday 10 at the Planetarium Ibirapuera Park.
