“The gigs started on Friday, and he was booked to come and play on Saturday at 9pm. He arrived at 8:45 and he was fine, we even had shots and we were having a great time and he wasn’t showing signs of not being okay.
“He started feeling ill when his set got ended. At first, he said he was okay, but things became worse. We phoned an ambulance, it took time, so my driver drove us to the hospital,” Drum quoted DJ Fanatic as saying.
His memorial service will take place after the funeral and will be announced at a later stage by his family.
According to TimesLive, his family has revealed that the Pop The Bottle team will host the memorial service, and everyone would be welcome to attend and share their fondest memories of the fallen star.
