"Maxon’s passing means so much to me. His team has always been some of the kindest people I’ve met in this industry, and Maxon himself was someone I discovered early and watched grow into a star. He believed in me when my posts barely got ten likes, and he gave me one of my biggest host songs ever."

"Every time I saw him, he was genuinely one of the friendliest people you could meet and he truly loved every one of his fans. Not even two months ago he had a meetup in Central Park just to spend time with the people who supported him, and it was amazing to see. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones," the post added.
