You know the world is a fucking mess when they only piece of good news in a sea of tragedy and violence is about the frontman of Maroon 5.
From People:
Christina Grimmie tragically died far too young Friday night when a deranged fan targeted her at her Orlando concert.
After expressing his grief in a heartfelt statement, her Voice coach Adam Levine reached out to Grimmie’s family to help out with funeral costs, her brother revealed on Facebook.
That’s super cool of Adam Levine. At least he tryna do something that’s just purely a good move in all this wackness.
“I found out this morning, that Adam Levine personally called my mother and said he will pay for the funeral and her plane flight, and I was blown away,” Grimmie’s brother, Marcus, shared in a post about the touching news.
People have dropped 100K in donations on the GoFundMe page set up after the 22 year old’s death, and there’s even a change.org petition going around to get her commemorated in the next Legend of Zelda game because she loved Zelda.
“[My wife] Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s tragic death,” says Levine in the statement. “Our hearts go out to her family. Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely. She was taken from us too soon.”
