Gary Sinise’s Late Son Scores Multiple Top 10 Bestselling Albums

Gary Sinise stepped away from the acting portion of his life half a decade ago, but he hasn’t been relaxing ever since. He walked away from TV and film to help care for several family members who became seriously ill at the same time, putting his love for them over his hugely successful career.

His wife, Moira, was battling breast cancer, while their son, Mac, was diagnosed with chordoma, a rare bone cancer that affects the spine. While Moira beat her disease, Mac sadly passed away in early 2024. Now, more than a year after that tragedy, his father wants to ensure that the art his musician child left behind is heard by a wide audience — and it seems that his efforts are working.

Gary Sinise’s People Profile

Gary Sinise took part in a People magazine feature in which he opened up about the struggles his family has faced, the passing of his son Mac, but, more importantly, the music he made during his lifetime. Mac worked for Sinise’s nonprofit the Gary Sinise Foundation, where he created music for various promotional videos. He also composed his own music under his own name, but didn’t have a chance to properly share it with the world before he passed – but not his father is working to rectify that.

Mac Sinise Claims Two Top 10 Albums

Mac Sinise currently claims two of the top 10 bestselling albums in America on iTunes. The musician soars more than 100 spots to No. 6 with Resurrection and Revival. Just a few spots below sits its sequel, Resurrection and Revival Part 2, which debuts at No. 9. Both versions of Resurrection and Revival were actually released in 2024, but they have only now become bestsellers – seemingly thanks to the People story, which means that Gary’s efforts have been successful in getting the world to hear his son’s music.

Mac Sinise Charts Among Superstars

Mac Sinise’s performance on iTunes is especially notable, as his albums surge during a competitive week for new releases in the U.S. He appears inside the top 10 on the list of top-selling projects alongside superstar names like Morgan Wallen, Sleep Token, Blake Shelton, Jelly Roll, as well as two versions of BTS star Jin’s latest solo EP, Echo.
