Embattled artist D4vd has canceled his world tour as cops probe the death of a teen whose decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla.
The 20-year-old “Romantic Homicide” singer nixed shows in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles as his record label refuses to promote the release of the deluxe version of his album.
D4vd — whose legal name is David Austen Burke — has also axed a lineup of upcoming shows in Europe, a source told TMZ.
The news comes as cops continue to investigate how 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez ended up dead in D4vd’s Tesla, which turned up in an impound lot in California’s Hollywood Hills.
Universal Music Group, Sony Music Publishing and Wasserman have put all promotional activities for the popstar on hold, according to TMZ.
Cops have not named D4vd as a suspect, but on Wednesday the Los Angeles Police Department raided a Hollywood Hills house where the artist had been staying, seizing “several items of evidence,” LAPD confirmed to The Post.
The raid on D4vd’s crash pad comes as connections between the pop star and the dead teen keep piling up.
Screenshots of old messages on D4vd’s Discord fan server show he was rumored to be dating a teen named “Celeste” years before Rivas Hernandez was found dead.
Several photos have surfaced of D4vd with a young woman bearing a strong resemblance to Rivas Hernandez, whose photos were circulated on “missing” posters in 2024.
Her mother told TMZ that she had been dating someone named David before she went missing.
The year before that, D4vd, who has more than 2 million followers on Instagram, made an unreleased track in which he mentions the name “Celeste” twice.
“Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest, smell her on my clothes like cigarettes,” he sings in the track, which began circulating online after Rivas Hernandez was IDd as the girl in the trunk.
No charges have been filed in the case, and the singer is cooperating with investigators, the LA Times reported.
The body of Rivas Hernandez was found Sept. 8, the day after her 15th birthday, but she had been dead for some time — staff at the Hollywood tow lot where the Tesla was brought called the cops after noticing a putrid smell from the car.
No charges have been filed in the case, and the singer is cooperating with investigators, the LA Times noted.
