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.”

But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique.

If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
