Singer Oliver Tree documented a day in the life of his first trip to Brazil, in his last social media post before his tragic death on Sunday.
In an Instagram Reel shared on Saturday, the “Life Goes On” hitmaker was seen teaming up with Brazilian influencer Iae Break for a fun-filled day of soccer, riding bikes, haircuts and cooking.
The video was captioned: “Gringo 24 horas no Brasil,” which translated means: “Foreigner 24 hours in Brazil.”
In the background, Tree’s song “Worth Nothing” which is featured on the “TWISTED, Fast & Furious: Drift Tape (Phonk Vol. 1)” played as the men went throughout their day.
The clip, which has 9.7 million views at the time of this reporting, was flooded with comments from fans leaving their condolences for the late artist.
Tree was reported dead on Sunday after he was involved in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro. He was 32 years old.
The singer, born Oliver Tree Nickel, was identified as one of the six casualties involved in the two-plane crash.
He and four others were flying onboard one helicopter when it hit the other helicopter holding just one individual.
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.
Per CNN, the aircrafts hit each other mid-air while flying over an electrical vehicle yard. At least 20 cars were set on fire from the collision.
Local police told the outlet that a forensic investigation has been requested and the case is ongoing.
Tree was visiting the South American country while on his world tour. On June 6, he performed a show in Sao Paolo and he was expected to continue his tour with a July 13 show in Lisbon.
The artist was no stranger to traveling by helicopter. His social media reveals he most recently took a helicopter ride to perform at EDC music festival in Las Vegas in May.
Born in Santa Cruz, California, Tree first rose to fame at 17 years old in 2010 and started working with big names like Skrillex and Zeds Dead under the moniker “Tree.”
He released his final studio album, “Love You Madly Hate You Badly” in April.
