Singer Oliver Tree died in a helicopter crash Sunday when two choppers collided in Rio de Janeiro, killing all six occupants, officials said.
The “Life Goes On” singer, 32, was in the middle of a tour in Brazil when he boarded a helicopter in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the Southwest zone of Rio de Janeiro, CNN reported.
The chopper Tree was on then slammed into another over an electric car lot, setting at least 20 cars ablaze in the deadly collision.
Harrowing images of the aftermath show the helicopters completely mangled on the ground, surrounded by crushed and burnt cars in the lot.
The other victims include passengers Lucas Vignale, Gaspar Prim (also known as Argentinian YouTuber Gaspi), Lucas Brito Chaves, and pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.
Officials say the cause of the collision is still under investigation.
Tree — who’s also known for his distinctive hairstyle, a bowl-cut mullet hybrid — was in South America as part of his “The World’s First World Tour,” which was meant to span across 30 countries and hit all seven continents.
He had wrapped up his Brazilian show in São Paulo last week and was set to travel to Portugal for a show in Lisbon on July 13.
The “Miss You” singer, who has more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, was born in Santa Cruz, California, and made his start in the music world at age 17 when he worked with big names like Skrillex and Zeds Dead.
Tree released his independent album, “Splitting Branches,” in 2013, with the artist stepping away from the scene afterward to study music technology.
He returned to the scene in 2020 with his first studio album, “Ugly is Beautiful,” which featured his platinum hit “Life Goes on.”
By 2024, he was nominated for the International Song Brit award alongside Robin Schulz for their hit song “Miss You.”
He went on to release “Cowboy Tears,” “Alone in a Crowd,” and his April 2026 album, “Love You Madly Hate You Badly.”
Along with his music career, Tree is also known for breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest kick scooter on Earth in 2020, with the machine measuring more than 13 feet tall and 10 feet long.
