Sepultura, one of the most important Brazilian rock bands in history and one of the biggest names in global heavy metal, is preparing for one of their farewells from Brazilian stages at Rock in Rio 2026, with a show scheduled for Saturday (9/5). For guitarist Andreas Kisser, the moment of ending a cycle is intertwined with a personal experience of profound loss.
In a statement to the newspaper, Andreas Kisser spoke about the death of his wife, Patrícia Perissinotto. After this loss, the musician defended the need for a debate on euthanasia, without providing more specific details about the circumstances or the exact position.
Andreas's story with rock began in a remarkable way. In 1983, at age 14, he was among the crowd of 125,000 people who attended the Kiss concert at Morumbi Stadium in São Paulo. At that time, the young man lived in ABC Paulista and was studying guitar. Four years after that performance that deeply inspired him, he would take his first steps toward his career in heavy metal.
