“you were an incredible human with an incredible family and friends who were all excited about the path you were on.” Så skriver Mac Millers vän och manager Christian Clancy i ett öppet brev som nyligen publicerats i brittiska The Guardian. De två arbetade tillsammans sedan 2013 och först nu uttalar sig denne om artistens sista tid i livet och hans eftermäle. Enligt Clancy mådde Mac Miller bra under sensommaren och hade stora planer för framtiden, trots problem privat.
“He was very open about his struggles throughout his career, but he had been fully focused and engaged. He knew the progress he had made, battling his internal dialogue – it wasn’t easy, but he was doing it and feeling the rewards.”
Vid tiden för hans bortgång fanns en turné planerad:
“He was about to go on tour with Thundercat and J.I.D with a superstar band. He knew he was at his best and most comfortable with a band and couldn’t wait to show his fans who he now was and the direction he was fully leaning into.”
