The music world was left stunned after the sudden death of Oliver Tree at just 32 years old.
The singer-songwriter, known for hits including Miss You, Life Goes On, and Hurt, was among six people killed in a helicopter crash in Brazil on June 14.
Tree, whose real name was Oliver Tree Nickell, had built a global fanbase through his unique blend of music, comedy, and internet culture.
Known for his iconic bowl haircut, oversized outfits, and larger-than-life personality, he became one of the most recognizable artists of his generation.
News of his death sparked an outpouring of grief from fans, fellow musicians, and content creators around the world.
Many struggled to believe that someone known for elaborate stunts and unpredictable humor was really gone.
Tragic crash claims six lives
According to reports per Page Six, Tree was traveling in Rio de Janeiro when the fatal accident occurred.
Authorities said two helicopters collided mid-air, killing everyone onboard both aircraft.
Tree was reportedly traveling alongside fellow passengers Lucas Vignale, Lucas Brito Chaves, and Argentine YouTuber Gaspar Prim, who was known online as Gaspi.
The two pilots, Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac, also lost their lives.
The collision reportedly occurred above an electric vehicle yard, with debris and fire spreading below after the crash.
Investigators later launched a forensic examination into the incident.
The tragedy instantly made headlines around the world, with many shocked that Tree’s life had been cut short while he was in the middle of a major international tour.
He was in the middle of a huge world tour
At the time of his death, Tree had been traveling as part of his ambitious World’s First World Tour.
The tour was scheduled to take him across more than 30 countries and include around 70 performances.
He had already performed in Mexico and Brazil and was expected to continue into Europe in the coming weeks.
Fans had been following his travels closely through social media updates documenting his adventures across different countries.
Just weeks earlier, Tree had even traveled by helicopter to perform at the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas.
Friends said he was excited about the tour and eager to continue bringing his unique style of entertainment to audiences around the world.
Tributes poured in from fellow stars
Following confirmation of his death, tributes flooded social media, Pink News reports.
KSI, who collaborated with Tree on the song Voices, admitted he initially hoped the reports were another one of the singer’s elaborate pranks.
“Can’t believe I’m actually having to type this,” he wrote.
“You’re 32 man. You should still be here.”
“You still had so much life to live. So much music to make.”
KSI described Tree as a legend and said the news made him feel physically sick.
Other celebrities including Kid Cudi, Bebe Rexha, T-Pain, and Whitney Cummings also shared heartfelt messages.
Many praised his creativity, originality, and willingness to be completely different from everyone else in the entertainment industry.
Several artists described him as a once-in-a-generation talent.
His comments about death have resurfaced
In the days following the tragedy, fans began revisiting interviews Tree had given earlier this year.
One particular conversation attracted significant attention, Complex reports.
During an appearance on The Zach Sang Show just weeks before his death, Tree discussed what would happen to his wealth when he eventually passed away.
His answer surprised many.
The musician revealed he had already arranged his will and insisted that none of his family members would inherit his fortune.
“I don’t believe that any of the wealth or things I get from it are mine,” he said.
“So when I die, my family, no one’s going to get a penny.”
Tree even said that if he eventually had children, they would not receive a large inheritance.
Instead, he planned to use his earnings to support future artists.
The foundation he wanted to leave behind
Tree explained that he had created a charitable organization called Dr. Oliver Tree’s Art Grants for Baby Geniuses.
The foundation was designed to use income generated from his music, videos, and creative work to fund artists long after his death.
“The idea is, when I die, all the money is going to go back to the arts,” he explained.
According to Tree, a committee would eventually oversee the foundation and vote on which artists should receive grants.
He hoped the organization would continue supporting creativity for generations.
Tree also joked that people would probably appreciate his work more once he was gone.
“When I die, my art will continue and probably be worth more than it is now,” he said.
“People will finally appreciate my stupid videos or my stupid songs.”
Looking back, many fans now view those comments as especially poignant.
Melanie Martinez shares emotional tribute
Among those most affected by the news was singer Melanie Martinez.
The pair were previously in a highly publicized relationship and remained closely associated in the minds of many fans.
After learning of Tree’s death, Martinez shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram.
“Been an absolute wreck today,” she wrote.
“It’s really hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone.”
She described Tree as someone with “such a soft heart” and called him “a true artist in every way.”
Martinez concluded her message by saying: “Rest in peace Oliver. I know you’re making the angels giggle.”
“I’ll be here wondering what stunt and creative project you’re scheming up in heaven.”
The emotional tribute quickly spread online, with fans praising the singer’s words.
His final post has left fans heartbroken
As tributes continue to pour in, many fans have found themselves returning to Tree’s final social media post.
The video was shared just one day before the fatal crash.
In it, Tree documented what appeared to be his first trip to Brazil alongside influencer Iae Break.
The clip showed the pair spending 24 hours exploring the country, riding motorcycles, getting haircuts, cooking local food, and playing soccer.
At one point, Tree could be seen jokingly calling himself Neymar while proudly holding a replica FIFA World Cup trophy.
The video was captioned: “Gringo 24 horas no Brasil” — which translates to “Foreigner 24 hours in Brazil.”
At the time, it looked like another lighthearted travel video from the artist.
But after news of his death emerged, the post took on a heartbreaking new meaning.
Fans flooded the comments section with tributes, many saying it was painful to watch Tree smiling, laughing, and clearly enjoying himself, unaware that it would become the final glimpse the world would see of him before the crash that took his life.
