Mac Miller Remembered by Manager Christian Clancy in Op-Ed

Mac Miller’s manager has written a remembrance of the late rapper in an op-ed for the UK Observer. Christian Clancy, who began managing Miller in 2013 with his wife Kelly, describes Miller as a selfless presence who, more than fame, “craved importance: the ability to show depth, to cement a legacy.”

Clancy describes seeing Miller two days before his death. “He was very open about his struggles throughout his career, but he had been fully focused and engaged,” Clancy writes. “He knew the progress he had made, battling his internal dialogue—it wasn’t easy, but he was doing it and feeling the rewards.... He was happy and in as good a mental state as he had been since we’d known him.” He concludes, “In a world dominated by ego, he led with the soul and lived by focusing on similarities rather than differences – that’s a lesson we all could use.” Read the full op-ed.
