Acclaimed British music producer William Orbit, known for his work with acts including Madonna, Blur, All Saints and Pink, has died at the age of 69. It went on to win three Grammy Awards and remains, for many people, the Queen of Pop’s greatest record. Madonna and Orbit combined again to great effect in 1999 on her number two UK chart hit Beautiful Stranger, which he co-wrote and played on. In 2000, Orbit worked on Madonna’s album Music, as well as releasing his own Grammy-nominated solo LP, Pieces In A Modern Style – a critically acclaimed electronic-classical crossover record. Group member Shaznay Lewis and Orbit wrote Pure Shores for the 2000 film The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, and the track went to number one in the UK.
