Hey up all, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately yesterday afternoon Neil II Real died peacefully with his family and best friend by his side.

For anyone who knew Neil, you'll remember how energetic, funny and random he was so it's a massive shock that someone with so much life can have it taken away so suddenly. I know everyone says this about people when they pass away, but he genuinely was the sort of guy who would do anything for anyone. If you were ever at a loose end, Neil would make you look at the practicalities of your problem and make it all seem less of a stress.

He was a superbly talented DJ and producer so he legacy will live on through his music, but hopefully he'll be remembered for so much more too. So if you have any funny or random Neil memories feel free to post em....:)

We'll miss you II"muthafuckin"Real...When the storm cleared up last night your star was shining brightly :love: :love: :love:

Rest in peace

Again, I don't think I never met Neil, heard him, and he gained a lot of respect from people involved with OSA and Pirate Revival. Taken away from us far to early.:(

If one thing to take from this is that when its our turn at pearly gates at least we will not need to worry about being sorted for decent music "upstairs".

God bless Neil rest in peace.
