Madonna statement on Mark Kamins death

Following last night’s news of DJ/Producer Mark Kamins death, Madonna released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter saying:
“I’m very sorry to hear about Marks death. I haven’t seen him for years but if it weren’t for him, I might not have had a singing career. He was the first DJ to play my demos before I had a record deal. He believed in me before anyone else did. I owe him a lot. May he Rest in Peace.”

According to the BlackBook website Mark died in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he was teaching, on February 14th. He suffered “a massive coronary”. A family source has confirmed Kamins’ death to Billboard.
As reported last night by MadonnaTribe, Mark’s facebook page was the place where many friends of the legendary Downtown New York City times posted their tributes and remembrances.
On behalf of all the fans we want to thank Mark for bringing to the world the most shiny and talented star of our times.
