Mac Miller benefit concert to be widely live streamed

The family of the late rapper, producer and musician Mac Miller have confirmed details on how those without tickets will be able to watch the 'Celebration of Life' benefit concert to be held in his honour in Los Angeles.

The event will feature performances from a range of friends and previous collaborators of Miller's, including the likes of Travis Scott, Chance the Rapper, SZA, Anderson .Paak, Miguel, John Mayer, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Thundercat, Earl Sweatshirt, Action Bronson and more. The Pittsburgh native's family have announced that multiple platforms in Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LiveXLive, TIDAL, and WAV will live stream the show.

"The support we've experienced is evident in this amazing line-up and is a testament to Malcolm's incredible life," said Miller's mother, Karen Meyers, in a statement when the concert was first announced. "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."

Miller - whose real name was Malcolm James McCormick - tragically passed away on the 7th of September at just 26 years of age, with a drug overdose widely believed to be his cause of death. Before his passing he was scheduled to kick off a tour in support of his fifth studio album Swimming last Saturday (October 27th).

All proceeds from the concert will go towards the newly-launched Mac Miller Circles Fund (MMCF), which has been created to "provide programming, resources and opportunities to youth from underserved communities, helping them recognize their full potential through exploration in the arts and community building".

"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," his mother continued in the aforementioned statement.

'Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life' will take place on Halloween night. You can donate to the MMCF cause via the fund's website here.
