Slain singer’s New Jersey hometown plans vigil in her honor
Singers Christina Grimmie and Adam Levine clasp hands onstage during the iHeartRadio Album Release Party with Maroon 5 at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank on August 26, 2014.
With all of the outpouring of sympathy and support for the family, it is clear that Christina Grimmie was a much loved individual who will certainly be missed by many. The original goal for the campaign was a mere $4,000, but it has since reached over $100,000. The donation would help Grimme’s family to move from their present location and assist with the funeral expenses.
“Our hearts go out to her family”, he said.
Maroon Five frontman Adam Levine has offered to pay for the funeral of Christina Grimmie, the late singer’s brother has revealed.
Grimmie had been coached by Levine while participating in season six of USA singing competition The Voice.
Levine’s rep confirmed the offer with E! Sadly, that’s not the case and another rising star had to pay the consequences with her life.
Teefey is also actress and singer Selena Gomez’s stepfather, and both he and Gomez were very close to Grimmie.
Grimmie was taken to a hospital but died from her injuries, according to a news release. After being caught by Grimmie’s incredible talent, Mandy and her husband, Brian contacted her. It was then that Brian started managing her career. The gunfire broke out while Grimmie and members of the band Before You Exit were signing autographs and selling merchandise after a Friday night concert, police have said. All four judges turned their chairs towards her as she performed, indicating each of them was interested in her. Grimmie chose Levine as her coach over Shakira, Usher and country star Blake Shelton. Grimmie’s brother tackled him to the ground and, moments later, Loibl fatally shot himself.
