On Saturday, Elton John dedicated the song Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me to Mac Miller.

Speaking from the stage during a concert in Allentown, Pennsylvania, John said, “I’d like to dedicate this song to Mac Miller.”

He continued on, according to the Herald-Mail Media, “Unbelievably, 26 years of age, and passed away yesterday. It’s inconceivable that someone so young, and with so much talent, could do that. And I just would like to pass all of our love and best wishes to his loved ones, his family, his friends. And Mac, wherever you are, I hope you’re happy now.”

Rapper Mac Miller died on September 7 in California from an apparent drug overdose.
