“I found out this morning that Adam Levine personally called my mother and said he will pay for her funeral and her plane flight, and I was blown away,†Marcus shared in the post.
The Maroon 5 frontman, who has coached Grimmie to third place on the sixth season of The Voice back in 2014, seems to be feeling the deep affects of this loss. On Saturday, the 37-year-old tweeted, "Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s death. Our hearts go out to her family."
Adam also told Us Weekly in a statement, “Behati [Prinsloo] and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie’s tragic death. Our hearts go out to her family. Christina was a natural, a gifted talent that comes along so rarely. 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.â€
The singer isn't the only one who is reeling -- many fans have taken to social media to give condolences to the 22-year-old's family. Selena Gomez, whose father managed the YouTube star, broke down during a tribute to the slain singer during her concert in Miami on Saturday night.
What a truly terrible story ...
