“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.

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