I now understand why The Orb had to call off their North American tour.

I’m sad to hear that long time Orb collaborator, DJ and producer, Andy Hughes, has passed away at the age of 44. No major details have been released, but it looks as if he had a short lived sickness that focused on his liver. A donation fund was established at King’s College Hospital.

A copy of his obit can be found at Synthtopia.

My thoughts are with Andy’s family and friends.

…ah! It all makes sense now. That’s sad. I was looking into surprising you tix to see them this time around. Guess that won’t be happening – sorry, babe :(

Geez, Only 44…very sad. My condolences.

It’s it tho. He was a talent with sound design and he help change electronic music with his involvement in the Orb. 44 and a liver issue… I don’t think anyone would have seen that coming.
