Adam Levine Offers to Pay for Christina Grimmie's Funeral Expenses

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine is offering to pay for the late Christina Grimmie's funeral. Levine was Grimmie's coach when she competed on the sixth season of The Voice.  

Grimmie's brother Marcus reveals: "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," he shared in a post.

Christina Gimmie, who is also known for her outspoken Christian faith, was shot.  On June 10, 2016, Grimmie was shot by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl while she signed autographs following her performance with Before You Exit at The Plaza Live in Orlando, Florida.   Loibl then fatally shot himself after being tackled by Grimmie's brother Marcus. 

The singer was rushed to the Orlando Regional Medical Center. According to an employee at the hospital, Christina died shortly after she was brought to the ER. On Saturday, the Orlando Police Department released the name and driver's license photo of the 27-year-old shooter, Kevin James Loibl of St. Petersburg, Florida.

In addition to Levine's generosity, Marcus said that the GoFundMe page set up by manager Brian Teefey is helping with funeral expenses in this difficult time. At the moment, donations have topped $100,000.

"Words cannot express," Marcus wrote. "Words cannot express...literally I have no words. I promise both my parents and 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.
