Celebrity Deaths in 2018

Several weeks ago, I was sent an email asking if I wanted to take part in a Mac Miller tribute for a magazine as part of an end-of-year recap,” the “New Light” singer, 41, wrote on Instagram on Friday, December 28. “I passed on it, not because I didn’t want to talk more about him, but because I couldn’t; I had shared all the memories I had of him in the brief time of our getting to know one another.”

The musician then reflected on why the death of Miller, a near stranger to him, made him so sad. “I replied to the email and sat in silence for a few minutes. That day, I discovered a new dimension to the sadness of his passing — I wasn’t upset because I knew him well. I was upset because I didn’t,” he wrote.

He concluded: “I wish I had more to tell you about Mac Miller. What I do have to remember him by are a couple of beautiful mental photographs that I’ll keep with me the rest of my life.”
