He was diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer — which also claimed his brother, Everall, in — on 12 October, as the disease "arrived without warning, snuffed out a soul quickly, and left loved ones dazed and confused".

He passed away surrounded by his family, including siblings Sandra and Lesleyn, as well as cousin Cyril, who flew to Australia from London to be with him. Whyte was born in Birmingham and, with his West Indian heritage, developed deep ties to the Jamaican community there.

His love of the Afro-Caribbean culture never waned, with Whyte even saying his frequent stomping ground of Byron Bay reminded him of Jamaica, "but without the Jamaicans", Oxford said. It was on a tour to Australia in with soul veterans De La Soul — who visited the ailing tour manager at his bedside on their recent local tour — that Whyte's life would be fundamentally changed, when he met his wife-to-be, Kylie.

The pair moved to London in , thriving in the UK music industry for the next five years.
