However, D4vd has now cancelled the remainder of his US tour after the decomposed body of a 15-year-old girl was found last week in the trunk of a Tesla belonging to him. Rolling Stone reported at the time that a source told them that “D4vd was notified of the investigation and is “cooperating” with authorities while on his Withered world tour.”
The girl has now been identified as Celeste Rivas through forensics. In a statement the Los Angeles Police said: "At this time, the LAPD does not have a crime classification from the coroner as to the mode or manner of death. Thus, we do not have any suspect information at this time.”
According to NBC News, “The medical examiner’s office said the girl was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal chain bracelet and stud earrings. She was described as having wavy black hair and weighing about 71 pounds, the office said.”
Singer D4vd was due to perform on Friday night (September 19) in San Francisco but this was cancelled and the show on Saturday night (September 20) in Los Angeles, is now not going ahead. According to TMZ, “The streamer-turned-musician was also scheduled to attend an event at the Grammy Museum on Wednesday, Sept. 24 -- but his name has been quietly removed from the main event page on the website.”
