Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber set to perform at Takeoff’s funeral

Alicia Keys and Justin Bieber are only two of the famous performers that are anticipated to perform at rapper Takeoff’s forthcoming burial, according to a Page Six report 

The outlet, which quoted sources, says the 15-time Grammy winner will perform at the memorial, dubbed Takeoff’s “Celebration of Life,” on Friday at 12 pm, TMZ. The service, it adds, will be held at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, which can host up to 20,000 guests.

Takeoff, best known as one-third of the hip-hop group Migos, was shot and killed at a bowling alley last week. He was 28.

The “Bad and Boujee” rapper’s record label, Quality Control Music, said he was killed by a “stray bullet” in an altercation that escalated at a private party.

While Keys hasn’t directly collaborated with the late rapper in the past, she was featured at Kanye West’s Donda 2 performance in February, as was Migos.

Bieber collaborated with Migos on the tracks “What You See” and “Looking for You.”

Tickets for the memorial service instantly sold out just moments after going on sale on Tuesday. Georgia residents were granted free tickets.
