Singer D4vd appears to have canceled his European tour, according to Ticketmaster. While the tour dates are still listed on his official website, Ticketmaster indicates all events as being canceled.
The mass cancellation of shows comes after the remains of a teenage girl were found earlier this month in the trunk of D4vd’s impounded Tesla. The singer also canceled the rest of his U.S. tour dates last week. As of Monday afternoon, it looks as though his Australian shows are still on.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, was scheduled to perform at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles over the weekend and was set to make an appearance at the Grammy Museum this week. Both of those events, however, have been removed from their official websites.
A candlelight vigil was held for Celeste Rivas, the 15-year-old girl whose remains were found in a car that was registered to D4vd, on Sunday night. Rivas’s friends and family gathered around a makeshift memorial on the street she used to live on in Lake Elsinore, Calif., to mourn the teen.
A house in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles was reportedly searched on Sept. 17 as part of an ongoing investigation. The cause of death is still unknown, and the Los Angeles County medical examiner is working to determine how Rivas died.

Who is singer D4vd?
The 20-year-old singer-songwriter, known for his indie, R&B and alt-pop sound, rose to fame after he went viral on TikTok and has more than 33 million monthly listeners on Spotify. D4vd is known for hits like “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me,” both of which have over 1 billion streams on Spotify. He was set to conclude his world tour in Los Angeles at the end of September.
D4vd was previously unveiled as the face of Crocs and Hollister’s “Dream Drop” collaboration, though the brands removed him from the campaign after Rivas’s remains were found.
Though the artist himself has not made any public statements regarding the case, authorities say that he is cooperating with investigators.
What happened, and how is D4vd involved?
Shortly before 12:30 p.m. PT on Sept. 8, LAPD officers responded to Hollywood Tow on North Mansfield Avenue in Los Angeles after someone reported smelling a strong odor coming from a vehicle at the impound lot.
A dismembered body, which has since been identified as that of 15-year-old Rivas, was found inside a plastic bag located in the front trunk of a 2023 Tesla registered in Hempstead, Texas, to singer D4vd.
The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office said the corpse was of a woman about 5 feet 2 inches tall with wavy black hair and a distinctive “Shhh” tattoo on her finger. Rivas was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal bracelet and metal stud earrings. D4vd reportedly has the same “Shhh” tattoo as the teen.
The Tesla bearing Texas license plates was towed after it was found abandoned five days prior at Bluebird Avenue and Doheny Drive in the Hollywood Hills area, according to police.
Meanwhile, one day after human remains were found in the Tesla, a second body was found in a separate tow yard in South Los Angeles. Family members had filed a missing persons report and reportedly tracked the woman to a scorched Honda Civic at an impound lot on West Gage Avenue. When the family members wanted to look at the car, the tow yard operator called the Los Angeles Police Department. Investigators arrived at the scene and found the woman’s partially burned body in the trunk, police said.
Investigators have said they don’t believe the Tesla case in the Hollywood Hills is related to the Honda Civic case in South Los Angeles.
Who is Celeste Rivas?
Rivas was reported missing in April 2024, when she disappeared from Lake Elsinore, Calif., which is located about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles. Rivas’s mother told TMZ that she was concerned by the news that the Tesla was registered under the musician’s real name because Rivas had a boyfriend named David.
A former teacher at Lakeland Village School, where Rivas was a student, also told TMZ that Rivas had met D4vd on social media.
After the medical examiner identified the body as that of Rivas, D4vd’s scheduled concert on Sept. 17 at Showbox SoDo in Seattle, part of his Withered World Tour, was canceled. As of Monday, all of his European tour dates have also been canceled.
A GoFundMe was set up earlier this week by Rivas’s family to “help to lay her body to rest.” The fundraiser surpassed its $20,000 goal as of Monday afternoon.
What’s the latest on the investigation?
A Hollywood Hills house was searched on the evening of Sept. 17 in connection with the discovery of Rivas’s body. Law enforcement sources told KABC that D4vd had been staying at the home that was searched, while TMZ reported that LAPD homicide detectives walked out of the house with a computer and several evidence bags.
“Several items of evidence were recovered and will be analyzed by detectives in the coming days,” an LAPD spokesperson also told People. “Investigators are following up on several leads.”
