Singer D4vd has canceled the remaining dates of his U.S. tour amid an investigation into a dead body found in a car registered to him.
The remaining dates on the singer’s U.S. tour — a concert in Los Angeles Saturday and a scheduled appearance at the L.A. Grammy Museum on Sept. 24 — were quietly removed from those venue websites overnight on Thursday as the investigation intensified. Tickets for tonight’s concert (Sept. 19) in San Francisco remained on sale as of Friday morning, although it seems unlikely the concert will take place; TMZ reports the singer’s team has decided to cancel all dates. A Wednesday concert in Seattle was called off earlier this week.
Tickets for D4vd’s European tour, scheduled to begin in Norway on Oct. 1, remain on sale as well.
Los Angeles Police Department officers were called to the Hollywood Tow yard on Sept. 8 to investigate a foul odor emanating from the car, which had been in the yard for some days. The police found a body, placed inside of a bag, in the front trunk of the Tesla registered to Burke at an address in Hempstead, Texas.
Remains found inside a car were identified as those of a teenage girl named Celeste Rivas who had been missing since April 2024, per the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner office. She was reported missing on April 5, 2024, from Lake Elsinore, Calif. In the days since the discovery, unconfirmed photos have surfaced online of D4vd — real name David Anthony Burke, age 20 — with the victim.
The New York Times confirmed the vehicle had not been reported stolen. NBC News confirmed Burke was “fully cooperating” with authorities upon discovery of his involvement, which is still under investigation.
The 20-year-old entertainer was on his “Withered” North American tour when this news initially broke. The day after, he performed in Minneapolis without addressing the situation, but went on to cancel a show on Sept. 17 in Seattle.
The musician is best known for the singles “Here With Me” and ”Romantic Homicide,” which each claim over a billion Spotify streams. The singer released his second studio album, “Withered,” in April, and released a new single, the “first-ever official anthem” for Fortnite, earlier this month. Shortly after the discovery of the body was announced, Crocs and Hollister suspended their collaboration with the singer for their “Dream Drop” campaign.
A deluxe version of the album scheduled to arrive on Sept. 19 has been postponed, according to reports.
