I can’t thank you enough for what you contributed and we will carry on your legacy”. Later he added: “Finding a place of peace inside myself of how much light that woman bought to my music. Love to her family”.
Meanwhile producer High Contrast, who also worked with the singer, said: “Very sad to hear of Diane Charlemagne’s passing, she’ll always be the voice of dnb to me … so privileged to have known and worked with her”.
