Los Angeles,\u00a0<\/strong>Rapper Mac Miller has died from an apparent overdose at his residence here.\u00a0 The 26-year-old rapper, whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick, was found unresponsive in his home in the Studio City neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Miller’s family released a statement about his death, reported Variety.<\/p>\n

“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26. He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends, and fans,” read the statement.<\/p>\n

Miller had long suffered from substance abuse and was even vocal about it.<\/p>\n

In his deeply personal 2014 mixtape “Faces”, the rapper had addressed his drug addiction.<\/p>\n

Miller went through a well-publicised break-up with singer Ariana Grande earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The pair, who met in 2012, collaborated on a number of songs and performed together at the One Love Manchester concert in 2017.<\/p>\n

In August, Los Angeles police charged the rapper with driving under the influence when he crashed his car into a pole.<\/p>\n

Grande had opened up about their “toxic relationship” after fans blamed her for his arrest.<\/p>\n

Miller became popular at the age of 18 with his mixtape ‘K.I.D.S.’ in 2010. His best-known songs include “Loud”, “Smile Back”, and a collaboration with Grande called “The Way”.<\/p>\n

His most commercially successful album was 2011’s ‘Blue Side Park’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
