Inside the hotel at the intimate service, friends and family spoke about the late rapper. You can watch the emotional service here.
Good Charlotte also performed a cover of Lil Peep's “Awful Things,” which aired during the service, as the band were unable to make the event in-person. You can watch the performance below.
We were honored to play this for Peep. We hope his family, friends and fans can feel the impact of his music and his life, and I️ hope he is somewhere smiling – I’m forever a fan❤️ https://t.co/VQgd2BZEXW
