Another shocking death hit the music world Friday afternoon (Sept. 7), as Mac Miller passed away at the young age of 26. Billboard has confirmed the news, with TMZ reporting that the rapper died from an apparent overdose.
The tragic news immediately resulted in a hoard of social media tributes to the rapper, including fellow members of the hip-hop community Chance the Rapper, J. Cole, Juicy J and Jaden Smith. But the heartbreak extended beyond hip-hop, as other artists like Shawn Mendes, Kehlani and The 1975 shared messages, with stars who had never met Miller chiming in, like Late Late Show host James Corden: "[I] was a fan of his spirit."
