The reason was, according to the family, a massive heart attack. In recent days, the Brazilian artistic world has ended up rocking a singer Maranhão. After a video was published on YouTube, Manoel Gomes was famous throughout the country. The reason? A song sung a cappella called Pen Blue. Since the song went viral, Manoel Gomes has seen his song gain versions of celebrities, was invited to television programs and is already planning new career steps. The now singer has already started to feel the bitter taste of fame: a few days ago, he was the victim of a rumor that suggested he had sold his music for R$700 thousand. Today, fake news “killed” him. That's right. According to messages that went viral, the author of Pen Azul died at the age of 57. The story appeared on “those” websites that ask for sharing so that you can see the content, but it was even published on interior news sites. Read the text that circulates online: Maranhão singer and composer Manoel Gomes of the hit “Caneta Azul” dies Singer and composer Manoel died this Saturday afternoon (02) at the age of 57 Gomes, author of the song ‘Caneta Azul’ that went viral throughout Brazil. Manuel Gomes died of a massive heart attack, according to his family. ## Manoel Gomes, author of Peneta Azul, died at the age of 57 from a heart attack? Of course, the sudden news (worthy of an excerpt from Ironic, by Alanis Morisette) attracted a lot of attention on the internet. But if you were worried about the news, calm down. The story that points out that Manoel Gomes, composer of Blue Pen, died is fake. Let's get to the facts. When we came across the source of the information, we already knew what it was about. The story appeared on one of those sites that announce bombshell news on the Facebook and Instagram just to steal internet accounts. It works like this: the Bombshell news is published and you enter a website. On the page, you are urged to click on another link to find out more details. That's where the scam: a virus is installed on your computer/cell phone and you can have the account stolen. Important: Many of the people who “click to see details” they automatically start sharing the fake. Furthermore, we noticed that one of the news sites that published the wrong information (yes, mistakes happen) deleted the news that pointed out that Manoel Gomes had died. And, when searching for other sources that spoke of the death of the composer of Peneta Azul, we found nothing. Strange, no? Add this to two more details. The first is that Manoel Gomes is not even 57 years. Despite contradictions in articles about him (some say he has 49 years old, others say he is 50 years old), the fact is that he is not 57. The second is that the news was denied by a journalist from Maranhão nearby to the family. Nonato Nogueira, presenter of TV Record in Maranhão, commented on the following “I die and I don’t see everything” when posting a print of the fake news. Nonato himself published a post announcing the official social networks of Manoel Gomes. When looking at the publications of the author of Peneta Azul, we find details about his participation in Hora do Faro, videos of him singing with production of the program, arrival in Araguaína (TO) and even merchandising for the Bic. No death or anything like that. In short: the story that points out that singer Manoel Gomes, author of Pen Azul, died after a heart attack is false. The story emerged as a backdrop for a scam and ended up being shared by other sites out there. Ps.: This article is a suggestion from Boatos.org readers.
