Graeme Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A giant of electronic dance music, dead today at 28. I really loved some of his songs. He had a great ear for melody and rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Rest in Peace. His music wasn't my thing, but credit where it's due for the mainstream hits he seemed to effortlessly keep on knocking out. Vast amount of celebrity deaths these past few days. Avicii, Bruno Sammertino and the iconic Dale Winton. Edited April 20, 2018 by Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratam Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 For a year old he Don't belong " 27 club" RIP 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Never heard of him, but sad another young life is gone. I will never understand why talented people have to drink or do drugs and think their bodies won't get fucked up from it. We've lost so many talented people from excessive drinking and drugging. When will they learn you need to take care of your bodies while your young. If not you either die young like he did or suffer terrible after effects throughout your life until it catches up to you. RIP I'm sure your family and friends miss you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pressured for years by the management and his entourage to keep touring at an insane pace although he hated it because of anxiety (he didn’t even like performing), depression and physical pain, and he was on lots of pain killers to cope. He then annnouced his retirement from touring in 2016, much to the dislike of people around him - there was a lot of fame and fortune involved which everybody seemed to enjoy except him. Through the years he seemed more and more depressed, pressured, weak, almost a walking skeleton due to his health issues.. All this is followed very closely in a recent documentary that seemed almost like an obituary even though he was still alive when it was released. Nobody knows the cause of death yet but painkiller OD or suiciude seem to be everybody’s guess. Either way he did not party himself to death - he was obviously unhappy and in physical pain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheapJon Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 His family has released a statement which pretty much confirms his death as suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I saw the documentary they made of him yesterday, he clearly wasn't made for touring and being the type of person you need to be in order to deal with that kind of stress. Can't say anything about the music, that dance noise all sounds the same to me, but apparently he was a genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
