Mark Pilgrim Is Not Dead

Reports of radio host Mark Pilgrim’s ‘death’ spread like wildfire late Thursday evening, but were later proven to be false. Pilgrim has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, which he revealed in June 2022 had spread to his femur, the base of his spine, and lymph nodes, according to The South African website.

Coincidentally, the death of another Mark Pilgrim in the United States had Twitter assuming the worst for the beloved South African DJ. The 53-year-Hot102.7fm old’s employers confirmed he was still alive – and Pilgrim himself (we assume) retweeted a response to the confirmation he was still alive.

Pilgrim has provided regular social media health updates to his followers in his ongoing battle against the dreaded disease.

In his most recent post last Sunday, the Hot102.7fm radio DJ shared with his Twitter and Instagram followers that his family had had “a surprise visit from Golden Rescue SA”.

HOT1027 Would like to inform the public that Mark Pilgrim has not passed on." Social media posts suggesting he's died are incorrect. Mark has asked that people refrain from sharing fake news around his condition" , said HOT1027 MD Lloyd Madurai.
