We're very sad to report that DJ Tallulah died late last night. Tallulah was a scene legend who had a life and career that inspired as much as it entertained. Gay London clubbing and many individuals just lost a special individual whom we will always owe a debt.
If you'd like to learn more check out this detailed and fascinating interview he gave that's archived on the DJ History website. If you've any stories you'd like to share or just want to pay your respects, please feel welcome to post it below.
For those of you who are not aware a group In Memory of Tallulah has been set up on FaceBook, you do not need to be a member of FB to view the page. It came as such a shock I was planning on having him over for dinner in the next couple of weeks. I'm sure he'll still be the Headliner on the main floor in HEAVEN by the time we make it up there. RIP Tallulah gone but never forgotten.

I am saddened to hear about Tallulah's death. He was a nice guy who made me laugh out loud, every time we met. That mischievous smile rarely failed. The London scene has lost one of its most prized jewels and encycopaedic memories.
Deepest sympathy and kindest wishes to his friends and family.
Cheers Tallulah, you were one of a kind.

Such a shock. Do we know what happened? Was it out of the blue or an ongoing condition?

I am heartbroken to lose such a wonderful friend. I was with him at Heaven last week for my 54th birthday and sat in the DP lounge while he played a 4 hour camp and fabulous set. As always he looked incredibly dandy and smiled all night and shocked me by refusing a glass of champagne!
He was a great bitching partner and my thoughts go out to those closer to him and the many thousands of fans he has across the world.
Sleep well lulu.

Oh the stories he could tell, all true, a person who was always around in London spinning in his own style. A great person in all senses of the word, he will be missed by many people, freinds and punter alike. RIP.

What a shock to hear that the scene has lost a truly larger than life character and true Gentleman. I first met him at the Catacombes in Earls court and would often laugh about it when ever we met.
You will be sadly missed thanks for so may happy memories.

Warm thanks Tallulah, you will be missed. You were of the generation that did all of the hard work that means so many of us can have the gay lives we enjoy now. I hope many more take this as an opportunity to learn about who went before, what they did and what a debt we owe you and many other brave warriors. R.I.P. x
