In a shocking turn of events, musician Oliver Tree has reportedly died. The California-born singer, best known for viral hits ‘’Alien Boy'' and ‘’Life Goes On,'' was reportedly killed in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on June 14. He was 32.
The singer-songwriter was reportedly among six passengers who died after two helicopters collided in southwest Rio de Janeiro. Days before the reported tragedy, Tree stated in an interview that none of his family members would inherit his wealth.
Why Oliver Tree said his family wouldn’t ‘get a penny’
On April 25, Oliver, on The Zack Sang Show podcast, said that he believed any wealth generated from his career belonged to him alone.
“I don’t believe that any of the wealth or the things that get made from it [a career] is mine. So when I die — I’ve set it up — my will is set up that when I pass, my family, no one’s going to get a penny,” he said.

Talking further, he said, “If I have a wife or kids or anything, [they’re] not getting a f—ing penny,” he said during the interview. “I’ll get my kids through college. That’s the agreement.
