The Oliver Tree celebration of life is being livestreamed from Santa Cruz, where friends, family and fans are gathering Saturday to remember the late star, according to TMZ.
The memorial service is taking place at the UCSC Quarry Amphitheater in Santa Cruz, California, TMZ reported. The outlet said the event was set to begin shortly and was being streamed so fans could take part from afar.
Logan Paul, Diplo, Ethan Klein and Aaron Mercury are among the people scheduled to speak at the service, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that more of Tree’s loved ones are also expected to appear as guest speakers during the memorial.
How can fans watch Oliver Tree's celebration of life?
TMZ said it is livestreaming the Santa Cruz memorial for fans who want to grieve and follow the service remotely. The video was listed as “Oliver Tree - Celebration of Life (Live from Santa Cruz)” on YouTube, according to the livestream details shown by TMZ.
The event poster, cited by TMZ, said the service would include unreleased video content, live music and additional programming. No further details about the unreleased material were reported.
What happened to Oliver Tree?
TMZ reported that Tree died last month in a helicopter crash in Brazil. According to the outlet, the aircraft he was in collided with another helicopter, and six people were killed.
Since his death, tributes have continued to roll in. TMZ reported that an art foundation was created in Tree’s memory after his passing.
Post Malone also honored Tree during a performance, according to TMZ. The outlet separately reported that fans gathered at Venice Beach late last month to celebrate what would have been Tree’s 33rd birthday.
The Santa Cruz memorial brings several threads of mourning into one public service: family and friends at the amphitheater, guest speakers from Tree’s orbit, live music, promised video material and a livestream for fans who cannot be there in person.
TMZ did not report additional details about the crash investigation, the full speaker list or the complete program for the service.
