ミラーは2007年、15歳のときにミックステープ『But My Mackin’ Ain’t Easy』をリリース。2011年にデビュー・アルバム『Blue Slide Park』で全米No.1を獲得し、これまでに5枚のスタジオ・アルバムを発表してきた。全てが全米トップ４圏内をマークしており、最新作『Swimming』は今年8月にリリースされたばかりだった。

『TMZ』によると、ミラーは金曜日昼頃、米カリフォルニア州サンフェルナンド・バレーにある自宅で死亡が確認されたという。その半日ほど前には、『Swimming』に収録された「So It Goes」が流れるレコード・プレイヤーの映像がインスタグラム・ストーリーに投稿されていた。

来月には、新作をプロモートした北米ツアーをスタートする予定だった。

チャンス・ザ・ラッパー、ソランジュ、ショーン・メンデス、ディプロ、ジェイデン・スミス、ウィズ・カリファ、カリード、J・コールら、追悼の声が続々上がっている。

合掌。

God fucking dammit. You were such an incredible person. You changed so many lives. Had so much love in your heart. You inspired me throughout highschool, and I wouldn’t be where I was today without you. Never a more kind and sincere and beautiful person. I fucking love you mac.

Completely devastated and heart broken I’m at a loss for words mac you were like a brother to me and were there for me in the hardest of times, especially this summer. I can’t believe this is real. Please tell your friends and the people you care about you love them life is so fucking fragile. You will be missed and your music will live on forever through the millions of people you touched. Thank you for all you gave us, love you bro

Such a genuine person. Brilliant sense of humor. A true artist. Your spirit is what impressed me the most. The energy you brought to any space you were in. Contagious. You reached out to me at times when others didn’t. You were human. And we shared the same disease. A disease that is out to kill us, and when left untreated eventually will. I’m shaken. Shaken that someone who had such a light can be taken from this world so easily. It could have been me too many times to count. On the surface people that appear to have it all, are not exempt from the gravity and cunning nature of this disease. If you’re in the midst of addiction tell someone what’s going on. Don’t be a secret. Go to a 12 step meeting. Introduce yourself and you’ll be greeted with love and understanding from people that are fighting the same battle. Surrender. There are many paths, but it’s the only thing that has worked for me. I’m scared. Scared of how real this all is. Life and death. Beyond sad. Such a beautiful soul. Sending love to family, friends and everyone whose life was better because of your presence on this earth. Rest In Peace Mac ????
