Dad's tribute to teenage son who died after complaining of leg pain

A well known DJ has posted a heartfelt tribute to his 18-year-old son who died after a short battle with cancer.

Graeme Park, famous for his work with Cream and the Hacienda, described his son Oliver as a "true warrior" who "fought so hard to the very end". Oliver died on March, 22 after losing his battle with sarcoma, a type of cancer which begins in the bones and then spreads to the soft tissues.

Oliver died barely a year after being diagnosed and in a post to social media, his mum Jenny who is from Liverpool said he "never once got angry, complained, or felt sad". Graeme has now set up a charity crowdfund to help fund research into the rare cancer that claimed the life of his son, the MEN reports.
