He had some good songs, he had acute pancreatitis caused by excessive drinking apparently, not sure why people are mentioning illegal drugs?
Because this is GD and some people know everything.

what do you listen to?To be honest his music is pretty trashy so its easy to brush it off.
what do you listen to?
Can you name all of the elevator music you hear? This is an ageing forum with ageing members. It's quite common for people to be completely out of the loop of popular culture.Honestly I don't know how people manage to go through life not knowing who he is. Even if you people don't listen to his music they'll have heard it in shops / shopping centres / events / whatever. The "who?" response in this case really speaks volumes about people tbh. Must be a hermit luddite.
Yeah, not quite sure how these are trashy, coming in at number 1 and 2 on the UK charts.
Depends on your point of view of what trashy is, there's nothing wrong with saying something sounds ***** if that's your opinion, I'm sure there's music you consider to be terrible
Coming in at number 1 or 2 though means nothing when it comes to pop music when you are towering among greatest hits like
Mr blobby
Aqua's Barbie girl
The ketchup song
and..... The ******* teletubbies
Yeah I guess you are right in terms of the number 1's part.
Googles definition of Trashy is "(especially of items of popular culture) of poor quality" If you class them two songs as poor quality then I don't know what to say...
Arguing about what kind of music is better is like arguing what the best colour is.

These are just my opinions and I have no problem with others enjoying his music so don't get triggered by what im about to write...
Its lowest common denominator EDM pop music.
It's some of the most beige and mundane music ever created. Awful generic synth presets playing simplistic kiddy melodies and utilising every dance cliche in the book. The production is ultra clean and the end product just sounds 'plastic' and 'soulless' for lack of a better description.
Its the kind of music you'd expect to hear in an IKEA advert or in a shopping mall... just horrifically bland and middle of the road, the kind of electronic music you could imagine your 10 year old niece getting down to.
Don't get me wrong he was undoubetedly good/talented at making that kind of music but for myself and many others that kind of music is nothing more than all the worst/most generic elements of electronic music all wrapped up into one giant pile of disposable cheese ridden dross.
He was though by all accounts a very nice guy and dying at the age of 28 is horrendous.
I bet you are fun at parties.
Luckily I don't go to parties that play EDM so I have lots of fun.
I guess everyone gets old eventually.
Im not old, I just don't like EDM... like millions of people. I just got back from Fabric a couple hours ago. I go out every other weekend to various nights in London.
Its amusing you think you have to be old to think EDM is gash though.

Every DJ playing there tonight plays electronic/dance though?
I am not a huge fan but I like some of it.
