Paul Johnson - Get Get Down

in 1999, his song “Get Get Down” became an international hit, sustaining airplay for several years in clubs and was a Top 5 hit on the UK Singles Chart and a top 3 hit in Greece. The song reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in December 1999.

In 2003 he had his left leg amputated after being hospitalised in Chicago with severe pains in his lower extremities, and in 2010 he lost his right leg after a serious accident.

Johnson didn’t let his disability stop him from being an active club DJ and producer. He still toured the world to DJ in clubs, and his release schedule stayed regular from the start of his career through to 2021. recently, Paul Johnson used his Instagram account to tell his fans & friends that he had been hospitalized with COVID and was feeling weak.

In two subsequent posts, the last of which was on July 19th, he explained that his situation had taken a turn for the worst and was being put on a ventilator as he was unable to breathe anymore. While recovered in the ICU, the artist fought brave during two weeks, but today, friends and family confirmed he had passed away.

No doubt that this sad news left many people of the electronic music scene under shock. Thank you for your legacy Paul, you will live on forever in our hearts and on dance floors all over the world.
