D4vd's U.S. Tour Canceled Amid Homicide Investigation Involving Vehicle Linked to Artist
Reports indicate that the outstanding U.S. tour dates for D4vd have been called off, coinciding with a homicide inquiry triggered by the discovery of a deceased individual last week in a vehicle linked to the artist.
On Friday, sources informed TMZ that D4vd's management decided on Thursday, September 18, to axe the concluding two performances of his Withered Tour: San Francisco on Friday, September 19, and Los Angeles on Saturday, September 20.
The 20-year-old artist behind “Romantic Homicide” was also slated for a Grammy Museum appearance on September 24, but that engagement has also reportedly been withdrawn. The museum’s official site no longer displays the event.
These cancellations follow the earlier postponement of D4vd’s Seattle concert on Tuesday, September 16.

Various media outlets stated that the car was registered to David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd, in Hempstead, Texas.
Us sought a statement from D4vd.
A representative for D4vd conveyed to NBC News that the artist “is aware of the events and, despite continuing his tour, is providing his full cooperation to the authorities.”

Officials additionally verified on Wednesday that a residence was searched as part of the inquiry. The exact link between the Hollywood Hills, California, property and the death investigation was not instantly apparent.
