Stevie Lowe, a renowned identity in Sydney's Kings Cross nightclub scene, has passed away after a courageous battle with stage 4 cancer. Lowe, who was diagnosed with the aggressive throat cancer in late 2021, had undergone a grueling 3-week radiation treatment earlier this year.
In May 2022, Lowe decided to host a unique "living wake" on a party boat in Sydney Harbour, where he gathered over 180 of his closest friends to celebrate his life before entering palliative care. Lowe wanted his loved ones to remember him at his bright-spirited, fun-loving best, rather than during the dark days to come. The event was a joyous affair, filled with laughter, hugs, and cherished memories.
Sadly, Lowe's cancer had already metastasized to his liver, and he passed away recently, surrounded by his family and loved ones. His family announced the news on Friday, stating that Lowe had "lost his battle with cancer" and that there would be no funeral, as per his wishes.
