British house music DJ Graeme Park, 59, has been left “heartbroken” following the death of his 18-year-old son. The Haçienda club star described how his son Oliver had “fought so hard until the very end in an emotional statement on Twitter.

Graeme Park, who is often credited as one of the original founders of the UK’s rave scene, shared the statement from his wife Jenny and Oliver’s twin brother Ben.

On Wednesday evening he wrote: “Today our hearts were broken forever.

“After a year-long battle with cancer, it finally got the better of you, our amazingly strong and gorgeous boy.

“You were such a kind, loving and beautiful soul and I will never understand why you were taken from us? 

 

“The power and love we feel from your guiding spirit is all around us and will provide us and Ben, your twin, with the strength to carry on. Especially when times get too tough.

“We love you Ol, so, so much and even though you’re not here in your physical body, the strength you provide us with and your loving strong spirit will be with us always.

“We love you so much, Oliver Park and thank you for sharing 18 years of your precious life with us,” the statement concluded.

Graeme is famous for being a huge influence on the UK’s clubbing scene, especially for his leading role at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester.

Graeme’s friends and followers were quick to send their condolences under the post, with Sach Lord writing: “Demi and I send you all of our love. We’re so so sorry Graeme.
