Blitz, the band that exploded in the 80s with hits that marked an era, had two shows at the first edition of Rock in Rio, demonstrating the enormous success it achieved at the time. However, nobody could have predicted that in 1986, just the following year, the band would come to an end.
One of the group's founders, Fernanda Abreu, gave details about the band's breakup 40 years later, in an interview with the podcast Desculpincomodar, on YouTube. Currently with a consolidated solo career, the singer revealed that the wear and tear began after the release of the third album, which failed to repeat the same sales success of the first two albums.
According to Fernanda, the atmosphere within the band was no longer the same. She described the situation as a "Lennon and McCartney fight," involving Evandro Mesquita and Ricardo Barreto. The decisions, which were previously made spontaneously with a simple "let's go!", began to be voted on, creating an environment of uncertainty where "everything was voting."
The singer explained that at the beginning of the band, the choices were made quickly and naturally, such as when they decided to perform shows on Chacrinha's program or record music videos in various places. By the third album, the process had completely changed, with everything being questioned and doubted, with responses like "maybe yes, maybe no," which marked the beginning of the end for Blitz.
