Well, well, well, it looks like we’re in for quite the spectacle this Saturday at the UCSC Quarry Amphitheater in Santa Cruz, CA. A certain beloved star’s celebration of life has turned into an A-list extravaganza, and we’re not just talking about a few obligatory speeches. Rumor has it, there will be multiple caskets representing his iconic characters, live performances, and a roster of guests that could fill a red carpet!
TMZ reports that Logan Paul, Diplo, and Ethan Klein are all set to take the stage. Will there be tears? Maybe—though I wouldn't hold my breath! Expect unreleased video content and heartfelt tribute videos, so definitely prep those tissues. And don’t worry if you can’t make it in person; it’ll be live-streamed on Twitch and YouTube at 7:30 P.M. PST because, apparently, going viral is still a priority even in the afterlife.
In the wake of the tragic helicopter collision that took this beloved icon from us on June 14, Oliver's team has launched the Dr. Oliver Tree's Extremely Epic Art Grant for Baby Geniuses foundation. Yes, because even in chaos, the show must go on! They’re encouraging donations, which is lovely—if you’re in a position to give.
As we navigate this seriously complicated time, let’s send all the love and healing vibes to those affected. I hope they’re all getting the support they need amidst this whirlwind.
