Mac Miller’s family and friends will host a star-studded benefit concert to celebrate the late rapper’s life.
“Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life” is scheduled to take place on Halloween at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, reports People Magazine. The concert will not only pay tribute to the 26-year-old rapper, but it will also be the official launch of The Mac Miller Circles Fund.
According to the organization’s website, the Circles Fund will “provide programming, resources and opportunities to youth from underserved communities, helping them recognize their full potential through exploration in the arts and community building.”
Miller died on September 7 from cardiac arrest following a drug overdose. His mother, Karen Meyers, released a statement thanking her son’s fans for their support following his death:
“The support we’ve experienced is evident in this amazing line-up, and is a testament to Malcolm’s incredible life,” Meyers said. “His father, brother and I are beyond thankful to everyone who is working to make this concert happen along with every fan and every friend for continuing to support Malcolm and his vision. He was a caring, loving human with a smile that could light up the sky and a soul that was out to make the world a kinder place and the MMCF will continue to do just that.”
Scheduled performers include Chance the Rapper, SZA, Miguel, Ty Dolla $ign, Travis Scott, Vince Staples and several others. Ticketmaster will start selling tickets on Friday, October 5.
