Posted August 6Aug 6 I can’t find anything official but I’m reading that William Orbit has passed away? 😮Edit: This is the link on his Wikipedia page:
August 6Aug 6 I can’t see anything official either, although google AI already has his date of death down as today 😕
August 6Aug 6 I hope this isn’t true. My favourite producer she’s worked with (and adore his work with other artists too)!
August 6Aug 6 I can’t find anything that isn’t based upon social media or user edited platforms - I’m guessing at this point it’s not correct. Hope not anyway.
August 6Aug 6 Yeah hope its not true. He's up there with Trevor Horn as being one of the most influential producers of all time.
August 6Aug 6 Author Apologies for sharing if it’s not true by the way! I just wondered if anyone could shed anymore light on it as it seems the rumours have been circulating for a few hours now without confirmation either way.
August 7Aug 7 I'm absolutely gutted by this news, i thought it has been dismissed as a hoax so to see it confirmed officially has really knocked me for six. What an incredible legacy he leaves behind.
August 7Aug 7 Absolutely devastated at this news.I immediately played Pure Shores and then bits of the Ray of Light album in his honour.For me he is the greatest music producer ever - he has soundtracked some of the best music ever made and is responsible for both a top 3 song of mine and top 5 album of mine (the two mentioned earlier).May he follow the sun now and rest in peace ❤️
August 7Aug 7 very sad news, RIP William Orbit.ROL will always have such a special place in my heart. It is so amazing to have a musical legacy, to be remembered by generations and through a masterpiece - ROL.
