The DJ was reportedly in his tent at one of the Worthy Farm campsites at the time.

Tributes have now flooded in for Jason from his pals in the music industry.

Pal Tim Newton, who performed on Phuket radio in Thailand with Jason, said: "Such a natural-born engager and entertainer - solo behind the mic, or in the company of close friends and family, or in front of thousands.

"He was certainly the best expat radio talent that ever graced a microphone in Thailand."

Another friend wrote: "Very sad news. Shocking. Loved his live music. Rest easy."

While one described Jason as being always "full of energy" with a "smiling face".

Police are not treating his death as suspicious but are carrying out inquiries on behalf of the coroner.

Jason's death was the first at the festival since a security guard was found dead in his tent in 2019.
