Cheryl Cole and will.i.am are devastated following the sudden death of a close friend.
The stars are in mourning after discovering The Black Eyed Peas' ex-manager Nick Lauher - who guided the band to success - died from a suspected prescription drug overdose last week.
A source said: "Will.i.am has been left utterly devastated.
"He worked with Nick for a long time and had become close friends over the years."
Cheryl grew to know Nick when will.i.am managed her solo career from 2011, and she will drop her plans to fly to San Diego, California, next week ahead of the funeral.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Cheryl grew to know Nick well due to her friendship with Will.
"She has cleared her diary to go to San Diego. She wants to be there to support Will."
Meanwhile, will.i.am's bandmate Fergie has also been left feeling distraught following the news and she will also fly from Los Angeles to the ceremony, which is taking place in the city where Nick grew up.
She took to Twitter earlier this week to pay her respects, writing: "R.I.P. @NickLauher, my friend. Truly one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. #heavencouldntwaitforyou #angel #love #BEPfamily (sic)."

Chantelle Houghton wants to have her breast implants removed.
The 30-year-old reality TV star had an operation to take her B-cup breasts to an E-cup in 2007 but after losing 28lbs and dropping three dress sizes, she admits she feels "stupid" for having them done.
She said: "I have lost 28lbs and dropped from a [UK] size 16 to a size 10 - and I feel happier and healthier than ever before.
"What I want to do now is have the implants removed. I don't want anything alien in my body and I feel stupid for having them done."
Chantelle - who has 19-month-old daughter Dolly with ex-fiancé Alex Reid - also wants to be someone her daughter can look up to and she feels that being in better shape and having her implants removed will make that possible.
She told the Sun newspaper: "I want to set a good example to my daughter, Dolly. I'm my own person now."
The former glamour model also wants to encourage other women to lead healthier lives, and claims you don't have to pay for a gym membership to get fit as she lost weight using simple exercises you can do at home.
She added: "I found them really easy but they were so effective for toning my legs."

Colin Farrell believes in the "power of love".
The 37-year-old actor - who has sons James, 10, and Henry, four, from previous relationships - insists love helps the world go round and claims every relationship requires affection to keep it afloat.
Talking at the premiere for his new film, 'A New York Winter's Tale', at London's Kensington Odeon, he told BANG Showbiz: "I think the world would sink under the weight of its own more destructive aspects if it wasn't for love, evening the score a little bit. Whether it's love between friends, between parents and their children, lovers, whatever it may be. So yeah I do believe in the power of love."
The Hollywood star insists he isn't particularly romantic, but wasn't keen to divulge too many details about his love life.
Quizzed on the most romantic thing he's ever done, he explained: "I don't know, I'm too shy about those questions. I'm not going to talk about how romantic I am, which is just another way of saying I've never done anything romantic in my life."
Farrell admits he doesn't have any plans for Valentine's Day today (14.02.14) and is set to travel back to Los Angeles from the UK.
He sarcastically added: "[I'll be spending Valentine's Day] in a plane with 274 of my closest friends on my way to Los Angeles."
Other stars at the premiere include his co- star Jessica Brown Findlay, former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Amy Childs and famed filmmaker J. J. Abrams.

Hayden Panettiere's wedding is on hold.
The 'Nashville' star is planning to tie the knot with her fiancée Wladimir Klitschko, but at present they're putting their plans on ice because of violent unrest in the world champion boxer's home country Ukraine.
Wladimir said: "With the circumstances right now, it's hard for us to set a date."
Wladimir - whose older brother, retired boxer Vitali, leads Ukraine's opposition party - says Hayden is very supportive and takes the politics of his homeland seriously.
He added to Us Weekly magazine: "She's socially aware. She has that beauty outside, but most important is the beauty inside."
Protesters have been demonstrating against Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in Kiev - protests which have turned violent - over his decision to pull out of a landmark treaty with the European Union last year.
Hayden, 24, initially dated Wladimir, 37, from 2009 until 2011 then reconciled with the fighter in January 2013 and they secretly got engaged during a trip to Florida in March that year.
She has previously said planning their nuptials takes a great deal of thought as they are both from different cultures.
She said: "I'm dealing with Americans and Ukrainians on the other side of the world so we have to find some common ground in between."

Nick Frost refused to dance with his wife at his wedding.
The 41-year-old actor admits his fear of wiggling his hips in front of people "ruined" his big day when he tied the knot with Christina Frost - with whom he has a two-year-old son - in 2008, because he refused to have a traditional first dance with her.
He told French TV's RTÉ Ten news: "I had a secret fantasy and that was that I always wanted to be a dancer. I like dancing, I'm a good dancer but I don't like people watching me dance. And that fear ruined my wedding because I didn't want to dance with my wife in front of our guests on our wedding day."
The comic star is currently starring as Bruce in the upcoming romantic movie 'Cuban Fury' - which sees him play a former Salsa phenomenon, who attempts a comeback years after his career was ruined - and made the decision to sign up as a way of making amends with his wife.
He explained: "I think this was a way of apologising to her [Christina]. It was like a really expensive form of therapy to get over a fear I have of people watching me dance."

Blake Lively is going to bake for Ryan Reynolds on Valentine's Day.
The 'Savages' actress and model is planning to put her skills in the kitchen to the test for her husband later today (14.02.14), but isn't sure which recipe she's going to follow just yet.
She told Extra TV in the US: "I don't know what I'm going to bake yet, but something good.
"I also saw this neat thing down the street for Valentine's Day. They were playing [violent movie] 'True Romance'. I was like, 'That's kind of a dark Valentine's Day, but whatever works.' "
Ryan, 37, has previously shown his romantic side, saying he struggles to find the right words to express his love for Blake, 26.
He said: "If you ask me to describe my relationship, I mean - words are too clumsy to accurately describe how I feel in that regard, particularly in an interview. It's a strange thing.
"I understand the climate we live in and why people are curious. But it's just tough and almost emotionally violent - for anyone, I think - to see your personal life summed up in a sentence."

Amber Heard doesn't go to the gym.
'The Rum Diary' actress - who is engaged to Johnny Depp - hates working out indoors to keep her enviable figure in shape, preferring to spend her time out in nature.
She told E! News: "I'm active. That's the key. I'm not really one to go sit in a gym. I get claustrophobic, I guess. I'm lucky though. I live in Los Angeles, so I have a lot of time to be outside and be active. That's what I do."
One of the other ways Amber may use to keep in shape is dancing - although she is "dying" to live it up at a country night held at Los Angeles gay bar Oil Can Harry's, but hasn't made it yet.
She added: "I'm dying to go. I try to make plans with my gays to go and every week something happens and I can't go."
Amber, 27, was also recently in Paris filming '3 Days to Kill', where she picked up some of the local language.
She explained: "I can order some wine. The important stuff."

Drake claims Rihanna is the "ultimate fantasy" woman.
The 'Started From the Bottom' rapper was romantically linked to the 'Diamonds' singer in 2009 and although they had a brief fling they are now just friends.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "She's the ultimate fantasy. I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man, that would be good.' We have fun together, she's cool and s**t. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."
Drake said in 2011 Rihanna had unintentionally broken his heart with their on/off relationship, which came in the wake of her split from singer Chris Brown.
He said: "At the time it hurt, but she didn't mean to. I'll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realise what it was. I guess I thought it was more."
The 27-year-old rapper also says he's matured in the way he looks at women, but still hasn't found a girlfriend yet.
He added: "I'm not after p***y like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me. But I haven't met somebody that makes everybody else not matter."
