Your legacy will live on forever. Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shown love, support and has done incredible tributes for Oliver,” the post began. “The constant love, support and positivity is helping the family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times.” Story continues below advertisement His team said Tree’s body is back in California, “where he can finally rest.” “His legacy will live on through his foundation/endowment named ‘Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses’ coming soon,” his team announced. “This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing, written in his will. We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish. “Love you all so much, Oliver would be so proud of every one of his supporters, friends and family. Peace be with Oliver.” In April, Tree spoke about wanting to give his “wealth or the things that get made from it” away. Story continues below advertisement “When I die — I’ve set it up — my will is set up that when I pass, my family, no one’s going to get a penny,” he said during [an appearance on _The Zach Sang Show_](https://youtu.be/-_U92uKq54o). “If I have a wife or kids or anything, [they’re] not getting a f–king penny. I’ll get my kids through college — that’s the agreement. But there’s not going to be a silver spoon…. The idea is, when I die, all the money is going to go back to artists.” Tree was among those listed on the passenger list filed with aviation authorities for one of the helicopters that crashed into a parking lot of a car dealership last week.

The Associated Press reports that human error might have led to the collision between the two helicopters, according to Rio de Janeiro police investigator Alan Luxardo. He added that authorities were investigating whether air traffic controllers or one of the pilots was responsible for the crash.

The 32-year-old singer was in the middle of his headlining world tour for his fourth studio album,_Love You Madly, Hate You Badly_, which began on May 30 in Mexico City. Tree, who has more than three million followers on Instagram and 17.2 million followers on TikTok, debuted his first EP, _Demons,_ in 2013 and spent his early career producing dubstep and performing under the artist name “Tree.” In 2017, Tree signed with Atlantic Records and released his single _Welcome to LA_ under the name Oliver Tree in 2018. Tree went on to release three studio albums with Atlantic: _Ugly Is Beautiful_(2020),_Cowboy Tears_(2022) and _Alone in a Crowd_(2023). His fourth album, _Love You Madly, Hate You Badly_, was released independently in April. Along with his music career, Tree also broke the Guinness World Record[for the largest kick scooter on Earth](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D2nCEv_9tY)in 2020, measuring more than 4.16 metres tall and 3.13 metres long. _— with files from The Associated Press_ Story continues below advertisement Curator Recommendations More videos * [![Image 20](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Frame-215-2.png?w=336&h=224&crop=1) Best mattresses in Canada 2026: Complete buying guide for every sleep style](https://globalnews.ca/the-curator/11271469/best-mattresses-in-canada-for-every-sleep-style/) * [![Image 21](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/storage.png?w=336&h=224&crop=1) Best storage must-haves for a clutter-free home](https://globalnews.ca/the-curator/11604764/best-storage-solutions/) * [![Image 22](https://i0.wp.com/media.globalnews.ca/videostatic/news/74dcy4x3et-6am2mvi77k/2026_08_15_SAT_SIP_WEB.jpg?h=article-hero-560-keepratio&w=article-hero-small-keepratio&crop=1&quality=70&strip=all) Saturday Sips: Alcohol-free sips](https://globalnews.ca/video/12023030/saturday-sips-alcohol-free-sips/) * [![Image 23](https://i1.wp.com/media.globalnews.ca/videostatic/news/evexks6ie1-q8tlbn8t5t/GN7_SITE_AUTHOR.jpg?h=article-hero-560-keepratio&w=article-hero-small-keepratio&crop=1&quality=70&strip=all) Best-selling author Nisha J Tuli published her best works from her Winnipeg living-room](https://globalnews.ca/video/12022584/best-selling-author-nisha-j-tuli-published-her-best-works-from-her-winnipeg-living-room/) * [![Image 24](https://i1.wp.com/media.globalnews.ca/videostatic/news/faz61vmxmr-0ca8hmodyj/NISHA_J_TULI_ROMANTASY-_OM01ZK7S_thumbnail_1280x720_.jpg?h=article-hero-560-keepratio&w=article-hero-small-keepratio&crop=1&quality=70&strip=all) Winnipeg romantasy writer grows global following](https://globalnews.ca/video/12022544/winnipeg-romantasy-writer-grows-global-following/) * [![Image 25](https://i2.wp.com/media.globalnews.ca/videostatic/news/rr37obtk15-wk9jjcjsun/video-capture-t0099.29seg-7948.png?h=article-hero-560-keepratio&w=article-hero-small-keepratio&crop=1&quality=70&strip=all) Peterborough Folk Festival underway](https://globalnews.ca/video/12022278/peterborough-folk-festival-underway/) [Stick to the Facts Add Global News as a Preferred Source on Google to see more of our stories in your search results. ![Image 26](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/themes/shaw-globalnews/images/google-preferred-source-badges/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png)![Image 27](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/themes/shaw-globalnews/images/google-preferred-source-badges/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png)](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=globalnews.ca) [Journalistic standards](http://globalnews.ca/pages/principles-practices/) Comment [Report an error](javascript:void(0)) © 2026 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc. ## Sponsored content More to Explore [](https://www.outbrain.com/what-is/default/en) ## More from Global News * [![Image 28](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/selena-gomez-accused-fraud-mental-health-startup.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&w=720) Selena Gomez accused of fraud by investors over mental health startup](https://globalnews.ca/news/12021768/selena-gomez-accused-of-fraud-mental-health-startup/) * [![Image 29](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/tyler-duckworth-dead.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&w=720) Tyler Duckworth, ‘The Challenge’ winner, dead at 44](https://globalnews.ca/news/12021446/tyler-duckworth-the-challenge-dead/) Advertisement ![Image 30: national skyline](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/themes/shaw-globalnews/images/skyline/national.jpg)![Image 31: national skyline](https://globalnews.ca/wp-content/themes/shaw-globalnews/images/skyline/mobile/national.jpg) Stay in the loop The email you need for the day’s top news stories from Canada and around the world.
