RIP William Orbit (December 15, 1956 – July 23, 2026)


I found this video on his YouTube channel that was posted two years ago. I don’t know who edited it, but it now plays more like an ‘in memoriam’ video.

Selection of photographs from William Orbit's personal archive from the 1990's to the present day. Photos include unique behind the scene shots which include Madonna, Beth Orton, Katie Melua, Bill Clinton, Triana Terry, Bass-O-Matic, ......


My two favourite songs from Madonna’s 1998 album Ray of Light produced by William Orbit:


Nothing Really Matters (directed by Johan Renck)

 

The Power of Goodbye (directed by Matthew Rolston)
