Tributes are being paid to the son of Hacienda legend Graeme Park, who has died after a year-long battle with cancer. In a public post to Facebook, Oli Park’s mum Jenny described him as a ‘true warrior’.
“Today our hearts were broken forever,” she wrote. “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. It was far too soon.”
Oliver was diagnosed with a rare cancer on his spine in November, 2021, after his 17th birthday. He is survived by Graeme, Jenny and his twin brother Ben.
