Hugely successful as a touring DJ, he worked with a ton of artists, including Madonna.  He retired in 2016 because he just kept having health issues, including acute pancreatitis, brought on, the singer said, by his drinking. He stopped drinking and did a 180, turning his life around.

No cause of death has been reported. Some info from CNN.
