PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- His music touched the lives of millions, and at the same time promoted his hometown.

Now, some stars in the music industry and his fellow Pittsburghers will pay tribute to rapper Mac Miller.

Many fans have left flowers at Blue Slide Park in Frick Park in the days since Miller's death last week.

It was a favorite place for Miller in his childhood, and became the name of his first studio album.
