John Mayer Recalls Having Instant Mac Miller Chemistry At His House: “We Had Such A Great Time & Laughed”

Rocker John Mayer is still mourning the loss of everyone’s favorite Pittsburgh rapper. The veteran musician has reflected on connecting with Mac Miller for a past collaboration and spoke on his fatal overdose.

In a new Complex November 2018 cover story, Mayer remembers linking up with Miller for their “Small Worlds” single.

“This is a true story: I started talking to my manager about splits—I gotta start making a living playing on people’s stuff. For years, it would be, like, a really fun side note. I got to Mac’s house and he played me this thing he had just worked on that morning, and I went, ‘Give me a guitar. I’m in.’ I think it had something to do with him having worked on it that day—it was still wide open and fresh. … There are a lot of songs people play for me and I go, ‘Man, I wish I was on this song, but it’s done’… We had such a great time and laughed, and I said to him, ‘No cash. No credit. I’m just happy to do it, man.’ He said, ‘Hey, can I…’ I said, ‘I don’t want people talking about me. I want people talking about your record.” (Complex)

John also shared a few words on Miller losing his life from an accidental overdose.

“I just wish it wasn’t fatal. I just wish figuring out your life didn’t take your life away from you. I don’t have an answer for how to fix that, but once you get old enough to understand how valuable life is, you look at people and go, ‘I just wish you could work this out.'” (Complex)

In September, Mayer shared some emotional words about Miller following his death.

Last week, Mac Miller’s real cause of death finally became public.

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner, Miller, 26, passed away from “mixed drug toxicity,” that included “fentanyl, cocaine and ethanol.” “The manner of death was certified as an accident,” a spokesperson for the medical examiner told Radar in a statement.
