SEPULTURA’s guitarist Andreas Kisser is mourning the death of his wife Patricia Perissinoto Kisser, who has died yesterday, Sunday July 3rd, 2022 after fighting colon cancer for over a year. Patricia Kisser had just turned 52 one day prior her passing.

Andreas and Patricia had been together for 32 years after first getting together in 1990. They married in 1994.

Andreas and the couple’s three children, Giulia, Yohan and Enzo, announced Patricia’s death in a social media post earlier today. They wrote:

“It is with deep sadness that we have to share that Patricia Perissinoto Kisser passed away this morning. She will remain in are memories forever.

We want to thank all our friends and family for all the support and messages of love. We ask for privacy during this difficult time.”

In a separate Portuguese-language post on his personal Instagram, Andreas called Patricia his “best friend and inspiration” and praised her for facing her illness “head on, with strength and determination.” He added: “My admiration for you is eternal. I’m sure we’ll cross paths again in some dimension beyond this earth.”

Rest In Peace Patricia Perissinoto Kisser
