Christina, a pillar of the music business, passed away at the age of 45 after a prolonged battle with illness. Her family shared the news with heavy hearts, expressing their profound sorrow and gratitude for her enduring legacy.
Born to Gloria, the wife of Max Cavalera, Christina was a trailblazer in the metal, punk, and rock music scenes.

They described her as a 'pioneer in the metal, punk, and rock music world,' a 'lifelong inspiration and forerunner for women in the music business,' and someone with a 'ferocity of spirit that made her remarkable and memorable.'
As the industry reflects on her contributions, they also honor her memory by respecting their privacy during this challenging time. Christina's life and work will forever be remembered, leaving an indelible mark on the music world.
