Black Coffee Honors Virgil Abloh With Heartfelt Tribute On His 45th Heavenly Birthday

Grammy-winning DJ and producer Black Coffee has paid homage to the late Virgil Abloh on what would have been the designer’s 45th birthday. The South African star took to Instagram to share heartfelt words alongside a collection of photos and videos capturing their moments together.

“We didn’t do all we wanted to do, but you alone selflessly did enough to inspire generations and generations to come.

“Even though you are physically gone, your passion, love and light will shine through forever. I and many others will carry this spirit in everything we do. Happy heavenly 45th birthday brother @virgilabloh,” Black Coffee wrote.
