As Christina Grimmie's family struggles to deal with the late singer's sudden death, her voice coach on The Voice, Adam Levine, has stepped in offering to help by paying for the funeral expenses.
Grimmie's brother Marcus, who tackled the man who shot his sister after her show in Orlando, revealed early Monday morning Levine had called the singer's mother to offer the assistance.
"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 said. "Words cannot express...literally I have no words."
Grimmie's manager Brian Teefey has also set up a GoFundMe page to help the family with finances following Friday's attack in which a 27-year-old man shot and killed the singer before killing himself.
Hours after Grimmie's death, Levine released a statement calling her "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."
