SAO PAULO, Brazil — Fans lined up outside a morgue Sunday to mourn one of Brazil’s hottest rock bands, whose members were killed when their private plane crashed into a mountain.
All five members of the band, Mamonas Assassinas, two assistants, and the pilot and co-pilot were killed Saturday when a chartered Lear jet crashed outside Sao Paulo. There were no survivors.
The band was returning from a concert Saturday in Brasilia and was to fly Sunday to Portugal to work on a second album. Its first album, “Mamonas Assassinas,” sold 1.9 million copies.
