Norman Cook's mum has died, his son has confirmed. Norman - who is also known as Fatboy Slim - shares 24-year-old son Woody with radio presenter ex-wife Zoe Ball. And Wood shared the tragic news in a heartbreaking post on Instagram. He wrote: "Ups and downs of the year. My Granny Ros passed away on Christmas Day, She was an amazing woman and ‘was ready to start her next life.’ That kind of optimism and mentality really inspires me. Losing two Grandparents this year has really made me grow and made me focus a-lot more on family.
"The ups: i’m having a blast in New York, was homesick on my Birthday and Christmas but i’ve been working really hard on music and it’s really paying off. My friends over here are so lovely and feel like family. Life always goes on x New year’s resolution is to make every second count… Safe travels Ros and thank you for everything".
He shared an image of him reflecting and also a family snap alongside his thoughtful words. The death marked the second grandmother of Woody's to have died this year. In April, former Radio 2 host Zoe announced her mum, Julia, had passed. At the time, the DJ posted a series of final photos of her mum during a New Year's break in the Caribbean four months before her death. Zoe confirmed her mother's death after announcing her pancreatic cancer diagnosis in March.
Captioning a picture of Julia on Twitter (X), following her death, Zoe wrote: "sleep tight dear Mama. thank you for teaching us how to love unconditionally, to always show courage and empathy, and how, even in the darkest of days, laughter is the greatest of gifts. we are bereft without you but will hold so tight to each other.".
