DJ Mallorca Lee has been told he has months to live following a terminal cancer diagnosis.
The 51-year-old Ultra Sonic star broke the news of his diagnosis on his Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.
A post on the page read: “I’ve been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the doctor said it could be a matter of months.
“I apologise for not telling all of my family and friends individually, it just breaks my heart a thousand times and I don’t have the strength to go through it all over and over again.
“I love you all, the last ten years have been the best of them all, it really has been wonderful.
“Forgive me if I don’t answer your calls and messages, I’m still processing, even this post feels like someone else is writing it…”
“Love, that’s all we ever really have, our one true currency, so tell the ones around you what they mean to you, every day.”
The post has drawn hundreds of comments from well-wishers, including Clyde One DJ George Bowie who said: “You will always be a legend to so many. Glad I got to meet you twice in my life time.
“Ultra Sonic shaped my interest in hardcore and techno from a young age of 12. I’m now 40.”
Mallorca Lee formed popular dance act Ultra Sonic in the 1990s, known for hits such as Obsession, Love Me Right and Angels before joining Public Domain in 2000.
He left the band to focus on a solo career as a DJ and producer in 2003 and has performed all across the world.
Another fan commented: “I am so heartbroken for you and your beautiful family,” while another added: “Please hold on to the immense joy, fun, smiles and love of music that you have brought to thousands of people all over the world for decades.”
