Tour cancellation by D4vd due to ongoing investigation involving a deceased individual found in a vehicle registered under his name in the U.S.
In a shocking turn of events, the music industry is reeling from the news surrounding popular artist D4vd. Known for his singles "Here With Me" and "Romantic Homicide," each claiming over a billion Spotify streams, D4vd has found himself at the centre of a criminal investigation.
The Los Angeles Police Department is currently investigating a dead body found in a car registered to D4vd. The car, a Tesla, was discovered in a Hollywood Tow yard on September 8. The remains found in the car were identified as those of Celeste Rivas, a teenage girl missing since April 2024 from California.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is cooperating fully with authorities. All dates on his U.S. tour have been canceled, including the concert in San Francisco scheduled for September 19 and the one in Los Angeles scheduled for September 24. A concert in Seattle was previously canceled earlier this week.
The car involved in the investigation was not reported stolen. It is worth noting that D4vd released his second studio album, "Withered," in April, and a new single for Fortnite earlier this month. The deluxe version of the album, scheduled to arrive on Sept. 19, has been postponed.
Crocs and Hollister have suspended their collaboration with D4vd for their "Dream Drop" campaign following the discovery of the body. Tickets for D4vd's European tour, scheduled to begin in Norway on Oct. 1, remain on sale.
D4vd performed in Minneapolis the day after the news broke but canceled a show on Sept. 17 in Seattle. The investigation into the case is ongoing, and no arrests have been made so far.
This development comes as a significant blow to D4vd's career, which was on an upward trajectory. His music has resonated with millions of fans worldwide, and his "Withered" North American tour was expected to be a major success. As the investigation unfolds, the music industry and fans alike wait with bated breath for more updates.
