PRIMAL Scream producer Andrew Weatherall has been remembered as “one in a million” after his death on Monday at the age of 56.

The musician, who produced the band’s album Screamadelica, died in hospital after suffering a pulmonary embolism on Monday.

Hove’s Norman Cook said of his fellow DJ: “So sad.

“He was one in a million and will be sorely missed.”

Weatherall had promised to play at Shortt’s Bar in St James’s Street, Brighton, in the near future.

A member of the bar’s management said: “I spoke to him at his last Brighton gig and he offered to play at this bar for free. A true legend. Deeply missed.”

A statement from Weatherall’s PR agency said: “His family and friends are profoundly saddened by his death and are taking time to gather their thoughts.”

The DJ was key in the acid house movement of the late 1980s and founded the record label Boy’s Own Recordings and the production outfit Bocca Juniors.

He was acclaimed for his remixes of Happy Mondays’ Hallelujah, New Order’s World In Motion and Primal Scream’s Loaded.
