AceShowbiz - The world lost one of talented souls in September. Rapper Mac Miller was found lifeless from an apparent drug overdose in his San Fernando Valley home on September 7. He was 26.
The tragic news comes just months after his breakup with singer Ariana Grande, who was engaged to comedian and "Saturday Night Live" star Pete Davidson" at that time.
The "Swimming" spitter previously shared his concern in an interview, saying, "was not happy and I was on lean very heavy." Miller added, "I was so f**ked up all the time it was bad. My friends couldn't even look at me the same. I was lost."
Despite his passing, friends and fellow musicians are trying to keep his music and legacy with the launch of Mac Miller Circles Fund, a new foundation meant to help provide resources and programming for arts education in underserved communities. The foundation was launched at a benefit concert called "Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life" on October 31 at Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, which featured performances from Travis Scott (II), SZA, Chance the Rapper, Miguel, Ty Dolla $ign and more.
