Chicago legend DJ Casper, known for creating the popular 'Cha Cha Slide,' has passed away at the age of 58 after a battle with cancer.
Casper’s wife, Kim, told, which first reported the news, that he had lost his battle to cancer with loved ones by his side.
He previously told the outlet in May that he had been diagnosed with renal and neuroendocrine cancer in 2016. “They went in to try to do surgery, and they found out the kidney was connected to the main artery, so they decided not to do it and just treat it.” Casper, whose real name is Willie Perry Jr., said his original song, “The Cha-Cha Slide,” was created as aerobic exercise for his nephew who worked at Bally’s Total Fitness. “From there, it just took off. Elroy Smith from WGCI grabbed ahold of it,” he said.
