Mac Miller's family held a benefit concert to celebrate the late and great artist with Live Nation in Los Angeles -- among the group was John Mayer, who also launched the 'Swim Forever' shirt to celebrate Mac Miller's life. The heartwarming event held performances by the likes of Anderson .Paak, Miguel, Vince Staples, Action Bronson, Chance the Rapper, Travis Scott and more. John Mayer showcased the shirt on Instagram -- it is a white long-sleeve shirt that was designed in collaboration with graphic artist Jeremy Dean.
The sleeves read "Swim Forever" with graphics of a deep sea diver and a Yin and Yang motif. To round out the entire piece are graphics that read "To A Place Where Time Don't End," drawn from the concept Mac Miller referred to on his 'Perfecto' track.
