Dario G dance music star Spencer dies of cancer at 53

His death was announced in a post on his Instagram account yesterday: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Paul Spencer earlier today. He was positive until the end but this was one battle he could not fight anymore.

“He leaves behind a wonderful musical legacy and many happy memories for many people. He will be sadly missed by everyone who loved him.”

Dario G was originally a trio act comprising Spencer and fellow DJs Scott Rosser and Stephen Spencer, and took their name from the manager of Crewe Alexandra football club at the time, Dario Gradi.

They were best known for their 1997 hit “Sunchyme”, which reached number two in the UK singles chart and was only kept off the top spot only by Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind”, his tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales.
