D4vd cancels tour following identification of a teenage victim found deceased in his Tesla.
Singer D4vd has announced the suspension of his world tour following the identification of a body found in his impounded Tesla. The deceased has been confirmed as Celeste Rivas, a 15-year-old girl who had been missing since April 2024. Rivas disappeared from her family’s home in Lake Elsinore, California, approximately 76 miles from the Hollywood Hills. This tragic development has heightened scrutiny around the artist, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, and has cast a shadow over his upcoming performances.
Burke, 20, best known for his hit “Romantic Homicide,” has canceled his scheduled performance at Seattle’s Showbox SoDo, previously set for September 17. Although this particular show has been officially taken off the books, his website still lists the artist’s planned shows, which are set to resume with the European leg of the tour on October 1. His management has yet to make any official statements regarding future tour dates.
The events leading up to this announcement began last week, when authorities discovered a decomposing body in a bag within D4vd’s Tesla at a Los Angeles towing facility. The vehicle was reported missing and subsequently towed from the Hollywood Hills. Initially, law enforcement stated that the remains were not intact, and representatives for D4vd confirmed that he was cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation.
As of this week, the Los Angeles Police Department reported that they have no current suspects and that no conclusions have been drawn regarding the cause of death as they await a classification from the coroner. The identification of Rivas has also raised concerns among her family and the community. Rivas’ mother stated that her daughter had a boyfriend named David and was tattooed on her right index finger with the word “Shhh…,” a detail that matched both Rivas and D4vd, who also has a similar tattoo.
This revelation has led to conversations around the safety of young individuals and the role of public figures in addressing such serious incidents. The impact of this tragic story on D4vd’s career and reputation remains to be seen, as fans and observers await further developments in both the artist’s professional trajectory and the ongoing investigation surrounding Rivas’ death.
