*STORY DEVELOPING*
Mac Miller has reportedly died of an apparent drug overdose – he was 26 years old.
According to TMZ, Miller was found at his home around midday (local time); he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Mac has previously had trouble with substance abuse; he was arrested for being drunk under the influence earlier in the year following his public break-up with Ariana Grande. His fifth album, the more-biographical ‘SWIMMING’ was released just last month.
Mac’s friends are seemingly confirming the news online, with many tweeting their sadness, shock and memories.
I dont know what to say Mac Miller took me on my second tour ever. But beyond helping me launch my career he was one of the sweetest guys I ever knew. Great man. I loved him for real. Im completely broken. God bless him.
