Billy, one of the brightest stars in the history of soccer, known as "King of the Ball", passed away on Thursday (29th). Brazilian President José Luis Bolsonaro announced that flags would be lowered to half-mast throughout the country for a period of three days, until Saturday (31st). On this sad day, Rio de Janeiro's iconic statue of Jesus was illuminated in the light of the yellow and blue Brazilian flag in tribute to the soccer great. Countless fans flocked to the Marajuana Stadium and the Belmiro Stadium to lay flowers and send their endless condolences to their idol.
