HOLLYWOOD (CNS) – Popular singer D4vd, who has been on a concert tour as police investigate how a 15-year-old girl ended up dead and inside his car, has cancelled Friday evening’s show in San Francisco and Saturday’s gig at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, it was reported Friday.
TMZ and other sources are reporting both shows scheduled for Friday at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and Saturday at the Greek, have been cancelled.
D4vd cancelled a Wednesday show in Seattle, where he was set to perform at the Showbox SoDo.
A person answering the phone at the Warfield Theatre said there were no tickets available for Friday night’s show. It was later reported that the show was cancelled along with the Greek Theatre concert.
D4vd, previously announced on social media that he would release a deluxe version of his album “Withered” on Interscope Records on Friday and was also scheduled to play the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Wednesday of next week.
A cause of death remains pending for the girl, identified by the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner as Celeste Rivas, who was 13 when she went missing in Lake Elsinore last year before her decomposed body was found a day after her 15th birthday in Hollywood in the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered in Texas to D4vd.
A bulletin issued by Riverside County Sheriff’s Department when her mother reported the girl missing lists her date of birth as September 7, 2010 and refers to her as Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
Her remains were discovered Sept. 8 in the Tesla, which had been towed to a city police yard in the 1000 block of North Mansfield Avenue. The car was registered to singer-songwriter David Anthony Burke, 20, known as D4vd, who has been on his U.S. “Withered” tour.
A search warrant was served by Los Angeles Police Department investigators Wednesday at a residence in the 1300 block of Doheny Place and several items were seized as possible evidence, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The home is not owned by D4vd, but he has stayed there, according to broadcast reports that cited LAPD sources.
Earlier, the medical examiner revealed the girl, who had last been seen April 5, 2024, had the letters “Shhh” tattooed on her right index finger.
According to TMZ, the girl’s mother said her daughter’s boyfriend “David,” has a matching finger tattoo, but in a different color.
According to the LAPD, the vehicle was impounded and towed to the yard — an “official police garage” — by the city Department of Transportation because it was “parked on a public street for more than 72 hours.”
The car is believed to have been parked in the Hollywood Hills. Investigators said the Tesla had been parked at the location for nearly a month.
Neighbors told Rolling Stone the Tesla Model Y had been moved several times over the past three months before it was found on Bluebird Avenue, where it was ultimately located.
After it was impounded, workers at the tow yard and neighbors reported a strong odor coming from the car, leading to the discovery of the remains.
According to various reports, the remains were dismembered and severely decomposed, and were found inside a bag in the trunk.
The county medical examiner’s office had earlier described the decedent as a woman of unknown age with wavy black hair and unknown color eyes. She was 5-feet-2 inches tall and weighed 71 pounds.
“The decedent was found severely decomposed inside a vehicle…,” according to a medical examiner’s office statement that said she was wearing a tube top and size small black leggings, and also had a yellow metal stud earring and a metal chain bracelet. “She appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle for an extended period of time before being found.”
A representative for Burke said the singer was informed of the discovery and is fully cooperating with investigators.
