As Peter Rauhofer's manager and dear friend for many years, it is my sad duty to announce that Peter was rushed to the emergency room several weeks ago. After confirming that Peter had a seizure, further testing has revealed a large brain tumor, something that has gone undiagnosed for quite some time.

At this time, Peter's family is working closely with a team of talented neurologists to determine the overall best treatment option. Please be assured that he is getting the absolute finest care possible, twenty-four hours a day.

I know Peter would appreciate your kind consideration and positive energy during this extremely difficult period. We will post any updates and progress reports as they become available.

Feel free to post your condolences as well as check into this page for updates.

The Vienna-born maestro is known for killer sets at countless circuit parties, as well as his legendary residency at Roxy in the 2000s, and notable remixes for the likes of Madonna, Whitney Houston, Destiny's Child, Britney Spears and Mariah Carey. His remix of Cher's "Believe" earned Rauhofer a Grammy in 2000.

In March, Rauhofer cancelled a scheduled show in San Francisco, attributing it to an "unexpected family emergency."

Our thoughts are with Peter and his loved ones.
