The musician, whose best known tracks included “Sunchyme” and “Carnaval de Paris”, was diagnosed with stage four rectal cancer in 2023.
“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.Spencer originally formed Dario G as a duo, alongside Scott Rosser, who he met while studying music in Manchester in the 1990s. The group broke into the mainstream in 1997 with “Sunchyme”, selling 600,000 copies in the UK and coming second in the charts only to Elton John’s tribute to Princess Diana, “Candle In The Wind”.They followed up with another top five hit, “Carnaval De Paris”, which became an unofficial anthem of the 1998 World Cup in the French capital, later being re-released for the 2002 tournament.In June 2023, he revealed in an Instagram post that he had stage 4 rectal cancer.
Spencer had been due to play his first gig of the year at Chris Moyles’ 90s Hangover concert in Swindon on 25 May, but pulled out due to his declining health.“A true inspiration, he brought joy to so many people and will live on forever through his music,” remembered Sigala.
