With the music project Dario G, he created several great dance anthems – including “Carnaval de Paris” for the 1998 World Cup. Now the musician Paul Spencer has died. He made his cancer diagnosis public a year ago.
He shaped the 1990s with songs such as “Sunchyme” and “Carnaval de Paris”. Now the British musician Paul Spencer – who performed under the name Dario G – has died at the age of 53, as reported by the BBC and the television channel Sky News.
They cited an Instagram post from his family: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Paul Spencer today,” one post said. “He was positive until the end, but this was a battle he could no longer fight. He leaves behind a wonderful musical legacy and many happy memories for many people. He will be greatly missed by everyone who loved him.”
Spencer suffered from colon cancer
Spencer announced last year that he was suffering from cancer. He created some great dance anthems with his music project Dario G. “Carnaval de Paris” was released for the 1998 World Cup and was considered the unofficial anthem. The music project, which had become a trio at one point, also released songs such as “Voices” and the song “Dream To Me”, which referenced “Dreams” by The Cranberries.
A year ago, Spencer announced on Instagram that he had colon cancer. The charity Macmillan Cancer wrote under the news of his death that he had been incredibly kind-hearted and had supported their organization last year with proceeds from his single “Savour the Miracle of Life.” He will be missed by everyone who knew him, the organization said in its post.
