Justin Bieber will play at Takeoff's funeral service later this week at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. While there are no other confirmed performers, Drake has postponed his tour just to pay respect and attend the funeral.

It is yet uncertain how the 28-year-old pop sensation will pay respect to the 28-year-old rapper who was shot and died in Houston on Tuesday. The "Baby" hitmaker worked with the late artist's band, Migos, on the songs "What You See" and "Looking for You". The Grammy winner has not yet posted publicly on social media about Takeoff's terrible death.

No further performances have been confirmed, and TMZ reports that participants' cellphones would be confiscated if they are present at the ceremony with their mobile phones. The arena, where the performer's family and friends will assemble to celebrate him, can accommodate more than 20,000 individuals.

The senior pastor of New Mercies Christian Church, Reverend Jesse Curney III, has disclosed that he will deliver the eulogy. Curney stated in an interview with Atlanta radio station V-103 that he will be delivering a eulogy at State Farm, and the New Mercies choir will be singing.

Takeoff will be remembered by Curney as a young guy devoted to his family and faith. He said he intends to remember him as a young man he watched grow up in church who loved being with his family and coming to worship.

Despite Takeoff's busy schedule, he reportedly would go to church as a regular worshipper and showed love to his fans while he was at church and after church, because everyone allowed him to worship and be a regular person.

Meanwhile, Drake has postponed his performance at the Apollo Theater in remembrance of his friend, Takeoff. On Monday, the rapper announced that in order to attend the burial of the late Migos member in Atlanta, he will conduct two concerts in early December instead of one this weekend in New York City.

According to local station V-103, Takeoff, who was killed at a bowling alley in Houston last week, will be honored and remembered on Friday at Atlanta's State Farm Arena.

Takeoff was slain on November 1 at approximately 2:30 a.m. when shooting erupted outside 810 Billiards & Bowling following a private party.

Police stated that the rapper's death was caused by gunshot wounds to the head and torso after a shooting outside a private party at a bowling alley in downtown Houston.

The announcement, which follows an autopsy conducted by the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences in Houston, comes as authorities continue to seek the public's assistance in locating the individual or individuals responsible for the killing of the rapper.
