Madonna paid a heartfelt tribute to William Orbit, the Grammy-winning producer who died at his home on July 23 at age 69, with no cause of death disclosed. In an Instagram post on Saturday, the pop superstar reflected on their creative partnership, which began in the late 1990s and produced the landmark album "Ray of Light." Madonna described Orbit as "otherworldly" and "singular," saying he "pressed a magic button inside of me and I fell into a galaxy of unrealised dreams." She credited him with inspiring her to sing and write without worrying if her words "made sense or not," calling him her "Ray of Light" alongside her daughter Lola, who was born around that time.
