Oliver Tree Dead at 32 After Helicopter Crash in Brazil

While commemorating her memories, the 31-year-old expressed hope for peace for her ex.

“I know you're making the angels giggle,” she added. “I’ll be here wondering what stunt and creative project you’re scheming up in heaven. All my love.”

Tree, who was 32, was one of six who died when two choppers allegedly collided while flying over an electric vehicle yard in the southwest part of Rio, causing at least 20 cars to set on fire at the crash site, local police confirmed to CNN Brazil.

Although he debuted in 2013, the artist gained acclaim with the release of his album Ugly is Beautiful in 2020. At the time, he also became known for his eccentric style, which he attributed as a factor of his success. 

“All I did was just show up looking stupid, and I think it’s a mirror that I was setting up of society, and how dumb things have gotten in a lot of ways,” he told Billboard in 2023, “but also experimentation is kind of the birth of invention and trying to make something that hasn’t been done a million times.”
