Interscope Records has apparently ceased all promotional activity for artist D4vd, including the scheduled release of his deluxe album, "Withered: Marcescence." This abrupt pause follows a burgeoning investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department into the discovery of a 15-year-old girl's body inside a Tesla registered to the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.
The deluxe edition of "Withered," originally slated for release on September 19, 2025, has been indefinitely suspended and removed from release schedules. Promotional materials have also been pulled across platforms. Simultaneously, D4vd has canceled the remaining dates of his "Withered World Tour," including a scheduled performance in Seattle.

Authorities executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence linked to Burke earlier in the week. Investigators reportedly removed computers and other evidence from the premises. The deceased has been identified as Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Reports suggest Burke was on tour when her body was discovered.
