Adam Levine Releases Formal Statement on Christina Grimmie's Death

Adam Levine has released a formal statement in response to Christina Grimmie‘s shocking death in a concert shooting.

The 37-year-old singer was Christina‘s coach on season six of The Voice and helped her finish in third place. On the finale, he vowed to sign her to his record label regardless if she won or not.

“Behati and I are absolutely devastated and heartbroken by Christina Grimmie‘s tragic death. Our hearts go out to her family,” Adam said in a statement released on Facebook. “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.”

Other members of The Voice family, like Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, have spoken out about the death of their friend.
