Mac Miller, 26, 1992-2018

Mac Miller was a highly regarded self-taught rapper, whose breakthrough came after he released a mixtape K.I.D.S. in 2010, which received critical acclaim. His subsequent album releases were also a significant success, cementing the budding musician’s status as one of the hip-hop industry’s promising new talents.

Tragically, Miller was found by his personal assistant at the music star’s apartment in September 2018 – with the cause of his demise confirmed to be an overdose. It’s sad to see such a young, talented soul taken away at the tender age of 26, news which indeed devastated his family and fans alike.
