Charlie Puth Mourns Friend Mac Miller. "I Always thought I Had be the One to Help Him Get Clean

Charlie Puth is remembering Mac Miller after the rapper's tragic death.

The "Done for Me" singer, 26, told E! News about his friendship with Miller in an emotional interview.

"I had known him for about six months, but we became really close. We became really good friends," Puth told the outlet. "I always thought I'd be the one to help him get clean and to lead him onto the path of a good, clean, sober life."

He recalled learning that Miller had died. He said, "Every time someone close to me passes away I always text their phone and — I don't know why I do this often — I just wrote, 'I love you man,' and I knew he wasn't going to write back, but I just felt like I had to do it anyway."

Charlie Puth and Mac Miller

Miller died at his home on Friday. A source told PEOPLE that Miller went into cardiac arrest after an apparent drug overdose. The official cause of death is yet to be determined.

“Malcolm McCormick, known and adored by fans as Mac Miller, has tragically passed away at the age of 26,” his family said in a statement provided to PEOPLE. “He was a bright light in this world for his family, friends and fans. Thank you for your prayers. Please respect our privacy. There are no further details as to the cause of his death at this time.”

Puth and Miller reportedly bonded because they both worked out with trainer Harley Pasternak. "We talked almost every day, and I don't get a lot of friends who come into my life who I hit it off with so quickly," Puth told E! News.

He added, "This is not real, I’m waiting for you to call me and say it was just a joke. I texted your phone before I know u got it...."

In February 2016, Miller got candid about his drug use in a documentary called Stopped Making Excuses. “I get f—ed up, let’s keep it real,” he said. “I get super f—ed up, still, all the time. That will never stop. But I’m in control of my life. I’m not f—ed up right now. I’m chillin.”

He continued, “I’d rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess that can’t even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool. There’s no legendary romance. You don’t go down in history because you overdosed. You just die.”

CALIFORNIA FIRE: 62,000 People Have Fled Blaze

  The evacuations have come amid a grueling heat wave, the coronavirus pandemic and air thick with smoke. The wildfires have burned through more than 350,000 acres. The wildfires that continued to rip across Northern California on Thursday have forced 62,000 people from their homes and threaten evacuations for 100,000 more. Firefighters have struggled to contain the blazes, and massive smoke clouds have harmed the air quality. A large group of fires burning in wine country west of Sacramento had grown to cover 131,000 acres, according to Cal Fire, the state’s fire authority. The agency said that, in all, nearly 350,000 acres have burned in Northern and Central California, with many fires sparked by lightning strikes in the high heat and then fanned by winds. Those conditions helped new fires sprout across the state on Wednesday and Thursday, and caused other fires to merge, complicating efforts to contain the combined blazes. Almost two dozen major fires were reported on Wednesday,...

Reopenings: “New Wide Release Movies Are Unlikely To Be Available”

The National Association of Theatre Owners is continuing its work advocating for cinemas during the COVID-19 pandemic. In their latest statement, the association responds to several states’ plans to open theaters as early as next week. The White House’s plan to open the economy includes theaters under “Phase One,” meaning they would be allowed to open after the area in which they operate in satisfies  three qualifying criteria . In the days since the White House released its plan, Georgia governor Brian Kemp has stated that movie theaters in his state  could be allowed to open as early as next Monday, April 27  if they adhere to “specific social distancing and sanitation mandates.” Governors of Tennessee and South Carolina have also announced plans to allow non-essential businesses to reopen, though what this means for movie theaters specifically has not yet been clarified. As states begin to move towards reopening, NATO issued the following statement: While some states a...
