Singer D4vd Cancels Tour After Police Identify Remains Found in Trunk of His Tesla
Full Story: https://btuatu.com/a341
In a stunning development that has rocked the music world and sparked intense scrutiny, singer D4vd has abruptly canceled the remaining dates of his U.S. tour after authorities confirmed that human remains found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to him belong to a missing 15‑year‑old girl. The discovery has turned what was supposed to be a promotional tour into a full-blown criminal investigation.
The remains were discovered on September 8, when law enforcement responded to reports of a foul odor emanating from an impounded Tesla parked at a Hollywood tow yard. Inside the vehicle’s front trunk, inside a bag, workers discovered decomposed remains. The car was registered to D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke), whose team says he is fully cooperating with ongoing investigations.
Initially, the singer continued with concert dates despite the discovery. But when the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office officially identified the remains as belonging to Celeste Rivas, a girl reported missing in April 2024, the pressure escalated. The match was made through forensic testing, which included matching a distinctive tattoo on her finger.
Once that confirmation came, D4vd quietly canceled his Seattle show and then pulled the plug on the remaining U.S. tour dates, including scheduled performances in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Concert listings on ticketing platforms were edited to remove the events, and promotional activity around his music has been paused.
Beyond the cancellation of concerts, D4vd’s team also shelved the release of a deluxe version of his album Withered, originally slated to drop around the same time. The label suspended marketing and promotional efforts as the investigation intensifies.
At present, no criminal charges have been filed against D4vd, and investigators have not definitively characterized the death as homicide. The official coroner’s report has deferred classification as to the manner of death, citing the advanced state of decomposition and limited available evidence. The Los Angeles Police Department is treating the matter as a death investigation while gathering forensic, electronic, and circumstantial evidence.
The fallout has already shaken D4vd’s public reputation and relationships. Brands that had partnered with him for endorsements have pulled back their support. Industry insiders say that sponsors are distancing themselves until more clarity emerges about the case. Meanwhile, fans and critics alike are dissecting the parallels between D4vd’s darker musical themes and the investigation — wondering whether artistic expression and real-world events have become disastrously entwined.
The singer’s European and international tour dates, which had been scheduled for later in the year, are now uncertain. Some are still listed on ticketing platforms, but many appear to have been quietly pulled or postponed amid the backlash and legal pressure.
As the investigation continues, all eyes are on law enforcement’s next steps, forensic results, and whether a suspect will emerge. For now, D4vd remains in a tenuous position — a rising musical talent caught in the crosshairs of a disturbing criminal case that threatens to overshadow everything he has built.
