Numerous people have paid tribute to the well-known DJ.

When there were complaints that the two were missing on Friday, police were called to a house in Enfield, North London.
According to authorities, the woman has been located and is in good physical condition.
Police are currently looking into whether the two were forced into a car on Thursday night.
“This is a very complex and fast-moving investigation involving multiple units across the MPS, as well as invaluable support from our colleagues in Essex Police.
“While the investigation remains at an early stage, a key line of enquiry is that the man and woman were taken against their will in a vehicle on Thursday night.

“I can assure residents in Enfield and Essex that we are doing absolutely everything we can to understand the chain of events here, and bring to justice those responsible.”
