English producer William Orbit has died, it has been confirmed. Sadly, a few moments ago a statement from his family confirmed that William Orbit had passed away at home on July 23rd, 2026. Brought up in North London, William Orbit found success relatively late in life. The song caught Madonna’s ear, and the Queen of Pop recruited William Orbit to work on ‘Ray Of Light’, a purposeful step back into club culture. The album was a massive international success, and made William Orbit a go-to figure for a full generation of musicians.
