Thank you to all the artists, friends and partners for helping to bring this all to fruition .. in honor of wonderful Malcolm .. who is in all of our hearts, she wrote.

The concert, called Mac Miller: A Celebration of Life will also have performances from Schoolboy Q, Ty Dolla $ign and Miguel.

It was previously reported that the Goosebumpz rapper, real name Malcolm McCormick, was pronounced dead at the scene after someone at his home called emergency services.

Macs distraught friend made the urgent 911 call, with the unknown male revealing that the last time he saw Mac was yesterday before adding: Please, hurry!

The call was heavily redacted before publication, and the caller can often not be heard clearly, before the call drops off later in the recording; the operator then hears from paramedics who have arrived at the scene.

The dispatch call came in as cardiac arrest as it is thought the friend did not realise Mac was already dead.

Sources told TMZ that police officers found traces of white powder in the house, but believe the place was wiped clean of any drugs or paraphernalia.
