A little bit ago, we wrote about how incredible it was to see that Eric Prydz responded to a fan who wanted to see EPIC 5.0 before he passed. It is sad to report that James Lillo has passed away prior to experiencing the show. Despite this unfortunate situation, Eric Prydz and his team are staying by their word and throwing a show in Los Angeles where all of the proceeds will go to James’ charity of choice – Cancer Research Institute. Tickets can be purchased here. If you by chance you want to help support the cause, but cannot go, please don’t buy a ticket by either donate here or here. Eric had this to say about the situation:
Many of you are aware that an amazing guy called James Lillo who was suffering from stage four terminal cancer approached me last week. After speaking with James we decided to fly him out to LA, to throw his own personal show, which I would DJ to raise money for his chosen charity – Cancer Research Institute. Tragically James passed away this week. His battle and story have affected me deeply, and now more than ever I wish to play this event to raise money for his charity and honor his memory. Having now had the blessing from his family, the show will be at Sound Nightclub on the 17th December. Every $ raised from ticket sales goes to Cancer Research Institute.
If you are unable to attend the show, but would still like to donate directly to James’ chosen charity please click here.
Please dig deep and let’s raise as much money as possible, and PLEASE let’s try and make a difference in James memory.
-Eric Prydz
Rest in Peace James Lillo. We’ll be sure to carry out your legacy properly.
