Melanie Martinez has shared a statement following the death of Oliver Tree, whom the alt-pop singer-songwriter used to date a few years ago. Martinez began Instagram Stories post by writing that she’d “been an absolute wreck” since the news of the fatal helicopter crash that killed Tree and five others broke earlier that day. “It’s really hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone,” she shared. Martinez added, “Rest in peace Oliver. I know you’re making the angels giggle. I’ll be here wondering what stunt and creative project you’re scheming up in heaven. All my love.”
