The Grammy Museum will no longer welcome D4vd to the venue where the embattled singer was scheduled to perform a sold out show next week.

On Thursday morning the concert was still listed on the museum’s website, which said the performance would take place at the downtown Los Angeles venue on Sept. 24.

But an individual with knowledge of the situation told Urban Hollywood 411 the show was scrapped. By Thursday night, it was removed from the museum’s website. Ticketholders should contact guestservices@grammymuseum.org.

TMZ reports the singer’s Sept. 19 and Sept. 20 concerts in San Francisco and Los Angeles have also been canceled.

The cancellations come after the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office on Wednesday released the name of a teenage girl who was found deceased in the trunk of an impounded Tesla registered to D4vd (pronounced “David”).

The remains were those of Celeste Rivas, 15, who went missing last year in Lake Elsinore, California, as previously reported.

Los Angeles police officers discovered her body on Sept. 8, after responding to calls about a foul odor coming from an abandoned Tesla that was hauled to the tow yard in Hollywood. The vehicle was registered to D4vd, 20, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.

According to local news reports, the dismembered body had been placed in a bag.

The coroner “deferred” releasing a cause of death until additional tests are conducted, the department’s website said.

Rivas had a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh…,” the medical examiner’s office said.

Her family last saw her on April 5, 2024, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office. She was just 13 years old when she disappeared. A missing person’s flyer listed her date of birth as Sept. 7, 2010.

Her body was found the day after her 15th birthday.

TMZ on Wednesday reported D4vd also had a “Shhh…” tattoo. The outlet published a photo of the Houston singer holding a microphone and the tattoo was visible on his right index finger.

Then on Thursday, ABC7 Los Angeles reported LAPD detectives served a search warrant at the Hollywood Hills home where D4vd has been staying. The station aired footage of plain clothes detectives carrying out a computer and bags of evidence.

“Several items of evidence were recovered and will be analyzed by detectives in the coming days,” police told the station. The singer had been renting the house in the 13000 block of Doheny Place, and did not own it.

D4vd was born in Queens, New York, and later moved to Houston with his family.

He became a streamer and started creating music with his phone and apps to avoid copyright strikes on his Fortnite videos uploaded to YouTube.

After finding viral fame on TikTok with his song “Romantic Homicide,” he signed a record deal.

The singer has a large following and his music has been streamed more than 2 billion times on Spotify. His debut studio album Withered was released earlier this year. He was in the middle of his first world tour when Rivas’ body was found in his car.

Neither D4vd, nor his team have commented publicly on the investigation into the teenager’s death.
