In the wake of the tragic shooting of Voice contestant Christina Grimmie, Adam Levine has decided to do what he can to help the bereaved family.
According to a Facebook post from Christina’s brother Marcus, the singer’s Voice coach called Grimmie’s mother to offer to pay for her funeral.
“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,” Marcus wrote. “Now a friend just told me to look at the gofundme page and I see it is at 100k. Words cannot express…literally I have no words.”
In a Facebook post soon after her death, Levine called Grimmie “a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely,” and said that “she was taken from us too soon. This is yet another senseless act of extreme violence. I am left stunned and confused how these things can conceivably continue to happen in our world.”
We hope that this gift will be of help to the Grimmie family as they grieve. “I am so blown away by everything right now. But all I can say is thank you,” said Marcus. “Christina will be missed and never ever forgotten.”
