I’m sad to report Mac Miller has passed away from what sources are saying is “an apparent drug overdose.” He was only 26-years-old.
According to TMZ law enforcement has said that the platinum-selling, multi-talented rapper was found at his San Fernando Valley home unresponsive around noon today and pronounced dead at the scene. The authorities were called by a male, who made the 911 call from Mac’s house.
Miller had been very transparent and open about his battles with drug addiction and substance abuse throughout the years and used his music as an outlet. Back in May, following his breakup with Ariana Grande he was arrested for DUI and hit-and-run after crashing his Mercedes G-Wagon into a utility pole. Many saw it as a cry for help.
Since making his way on the music scene in 2007, he released a handful of mixtapes starting with ‘But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy’ and led by ‘K.I.D.S.’ He went on to release five studio albums beginning with his debut, ‘Blue Slide Park’. His recently-released ‘Swimming’ album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Mac was set to kick off his “Swimming Tour” in support of the album on October 27th with Thundercat and J.I.D.
Many of his peers have paid their respects on social media following the news, sharing short stories, thoughts, and prayers.
Rest In Peace to the great soul Mac Miller
