Sad: Andy Hughes, of the Orb, dead at 44
Posted (Van Santos) in sad on June-24-2009

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.

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.
