September is a hard month for music lovers. If on a somewhat happier note we can remember the likes of Avicii, Amy Winehouse, and Eazy-E on their birthdays, it's also the month that saw us lose Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, and, more recently, Mac Miller.

In Mac Miller's case, at least now we have hope for some justice, as Cameron James Pettit was just "arrested on federal charges alleging that he sold counterfeit pharmaceutical drugs containing fentanyl to Miller, two days before his death," reports E! News.
