Beyoncé's unreleased music stolen during Atlanta tour stop, police report says
Atlanta police are investigating after an unidentified suspect stole Beyoncé's unreleased music, plans for show footage, and past and future set list, according to a police report.
Beyoncé, who is in Atlanta for her "Cowboy Carter" tour stop, kicked off her first show in the city 48 hours after her choreographer and one of her dancers say several sensitive items were stolen from their rental car.
According to the police report obtained by USA TODAY, Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue told Atlanta police they parked their black rental Jeep Wagoneer in a parking deck around 8:09 p.m. When they returned, they discovered the trunk window had been damaged and someone had stolen two of their suitcases.
"Mr. Grant also advised he was carrying some personal sensitive information for musician Beyoncé," an officer noted in the police report. "He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists,' he added.
Grant and Blue also reported clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops and a pair of AirPods Max headphones were taken from the vehicle in the July 8 incident.
