Post Malone Dedicates Toronto Show to Oliver Tree, 32, After Brazil Helicopter Crash

Q: With his world tour cut short, will Oliver Tree's final, unreleased music ever be shared with his fans?

Probably yes, but it has not been officially confirmed. The strongest evidence is that Oliver Tree reportedly had an unreleased album, *ALONE IN A CROWD*, which had been scheduled for release on Sept. 29 before his death. If that plan was still active, it gives his estate and label a clear, nearly finished project that could realistically be issued posthumously. There is also some indication that Tree expected his work to outlive him. In a recent interview, he said the money from his art would continue to support artists through a foundation he created, suggesting he saw his catalog as an ongoing legacy rather than something that would end with his death. That said, no formal announcement has been made by his family, estate, Atlantic Records or Warner Chappell about releasing unreleased material. Posthumous albums often depend on legal control of the recordings, how complete the music is, and whether relatives and collaborators believe a release reflects the artist’s wishes. So the most accurate answer now is that a posthumous release appears likely, especially if *ALONE IN A CROWD* was substantially finished, but fans are still waiting for official confirmation. Until his estate or label speaks publicly, any release timeline remains uncertain.
