Rising singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has canceled the remainder of his 2025 U.S. tour following a shocking discovery: the decomposed body of Celeste Rivas Hernandez, a 15-year-old who had gone missing over a year ago, was found inside a Tesla registered to him. The grim finding came to light last week after police responded to a complaint about a foul odor coming from the vehicle, impounded at a Hollywood tow lot.
Celeste had disappeared from Lake Elsinore, California, at age 13 in April 2024. Her family has since spoken publicly, describing her as a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend. A GoFundMe campaign launched to cover funeral expenses quickly met and exceeded its $20,000 goal, as the community rallied around the grieving family.
D4vd had been mid-tour promoting his debut album Withered when the news surfaced. His remaining tour dates, including high-profile gigs in Los Angeles and the Grammy Museum, were quietly removed from official listings. Reports confirm he is cooperating fully with investigators, but no formal charges have been made linking him to Celeste’s death.
Fans noticed eerie connections to an old unreleased song titled “Celeste_Demo unfin” which referenced a girl named Celeste, adding a layer of mystery and speculation. Celeste’s mother told police her daughter had a boyfriend named David around the time she vanished, though authorities have not confirmed a connection.
As authorities continue to investigate, the music world is left in shock while Celeste’s family searches for justice and closure.
