Terry Young, who performed under the name Tel Young, died following a collision between the scooter he was riding and a tractor on Marsh Lane, in Boston, on Tuesday at 5.45pm.
He had worked for Mr Williams and partner Holly at The Wine Bar on a number of occasions and DJ’d several events.

He said Mr Young had obviously left a mark on ‘all walks of life’ who had since left messages across social media in tribute to the popular DJ.
Anyone interested in helping out with the event can message Marc on Facebook.
