Promotion of singer D4vd’s upcoming album has been paused following the discovery of the remains of a dismembered 15-year-old in his Tesla. According to TMZ, Interscope Records paused Friday’s release of the deluxe edition of Withered “out of respect of the seriousness of [the] situation and the ongoing investigation.” The decomposing remains of Celeste Rivas, who went missing last year, were found in the trunk of a car belonging to the 20-year-old singer-songwriter on Sept. 8, sparking an investigation by the LAPD. TMZ also reports that Interscope’s parent company, Universal Music Group, along with Sony Music Publishing, has paused all promotion for the album. The singer rose to prominence on SoundCloud and still has a number of shows scheduled. His remaining shows on the U.S. leg of his tour have also been canceled. While an appearance in Seattle on Wednesday was axed on the day, more appearances scheduled for this week have vanished from venues’ websites overnight on Thursday. It is unclear how or when Rivas died, with police only confirming her identity on Wednesday. The Daily Beast has contacted Sony, Universal, and Interscope for comment.
