RIP Oliver Tree

[OgNasty]

“Oliver Tree (Oliver Tree Nickell), the 32-year-old American singer-songwriter known for hits like “Life Goes On,” “Alien Boy,” and “Miss You,” died on June 14, 2026, in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 
He was one of six people killed when two helicopters collided mid-air during his world tour. The crash occurred in the Recreio dos Bandeirantes area; one helicopter fell onto a car dealership parking lot, causing a fire. No survivors. The incident is under investigation.”

A summary from Grok of Oliver Tree’s horrible accident yesterday.

He was a well liked musician.

It really is a shame that it took his death for me to really appreciate the genius that was Oliver Tree. I think I was always put off by his haircut and never looked beyond that to see his message. After having time to sit through many interviews and listen to more of his art, I now deeply regret not supporting him while he was alive.

I never heard of him. Not surprising since I don't look for his kind of content. Same with Charlie Kirk. Wouldn't have heard of him if he hadn't been shot. 'Waste' too much time studying Bible stuff.

Damn... that's sad.
I kinda like his songs, especially that song with this iconic lyric: Life goes on and on and on... plus his music videos are actually pretty entertaining to watch.
His oversized bowl-cut mullet will surely be missed. RIP Tree.
