Christina Grimmie Update: ‘The Voice’ Judge Adam Levine To Pay For Funeral? [VIDEO]
No matter what your opinion of Adam Levine might be, there's no denying that he is definitely a celebrity with a big heart, especially when it comes to the people he loves and the artists he supports. The chart topper has recently offered to pay for Christina Grimmie's funeral after she was tragically shot by a deranged fan after one of her concerts in Orlando, Florida on Friday evening.
Grimme's brother Marcus Grimmie said on Facebook that The Voice judge reached out to his family with the kind gesture after they started a gofundme page to help support the family's finances during this devastating time in their lives.
"I first heard from my sisters manager, Brian Teefey, that he will be making a gofundme (campaign) to help our family move out of our current house and to take care of the funeral, and I figured why not, and I'm not about sharing that kind of stuff and I'm not a fan of handouts at all," Marcus Grimmie wrote on Facebook.
"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. 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. I will read every one of these personalized messages. I'm so blown away by everything right now. But all I can say is thank you. And Christina will be missed and never ever forgotten."
