Well-known singer Alban Skënderaj has reacted with a heartfelt message following the death of Kosovan singer Rinesa Qeriqi, known to the public by her stage name Rinesancë, who died at the age of 25 after a long battle with a brain tumor.

In a social media post, Skënderaj remembered the young artist, also revealing a detail that connected the two of them. Rinesa had played the character of Lea in one of the singer’s music videos.
