The post, which quickly circulated among fans, highlights just how far the genre-bending artist has come from his early days to international recognition. While Oliver Tree is known today for his eccentric style and larger-than-life image, the image shared by his mom reveals a much quieter, more grounded version of the star that many fans say they had never seen before. Alongside the photo, her message reflected pride, love, and a sense of nostalgia that resonated deeply with followers, who flooded the comments with emotional responses and surprise at the transformation.

Oliver Tree’s mom shares moving tribute with throwback photo showing singer look wildly different

Oliver Tree’s mom has paid a moving tribute days after her son was killed in a helicopter crash — while sharing a throwback photo of the “Alien Boy” singer looking dramatically different.

“Our dear son Oliver, you made this world a better place,” Christine Begin Nickell wrote on Facebook Thursday, after Tree was killed in a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

“We are so proud of you. RIP,” she wrote along with three heart emojis, the middle one broken.

The proud mom shared the post along with a photo of the singer — best known for his quirky bowl-cut mullet hairstyle — as a fresh-faced youngster with a Justin Bieber-style haircut under a baseball cap, while holding a small dog.

The 32-year-old singer was one of six people killed Sunday when a Bell 206B JetRanger III helicopter collided with another aircraft about 300 feet above the Rio neighborhood of Recreio dos Bandeirantes.

Also killed were YouTube star Gaspar “Gaspi” Prim, 23, director and screenwriter Lucas Vignale, 29, music producer Lucas Brito Chaves, 21, and pilots Charles Marsillac and Alexandre Souza.
