A RAVE superclub is shutting for the weekend as it reels from two teen drug deaths and probes how to stop more.

Bosses at Fabric — a 2,500-capacity site in central London — vowed to spend today and tomorrow working with police.

It comes a week after the latest victim, a lad of 18, died in hospital.

Cops had been called after he   collapsed outside the iconic venue just after eight in the morning.

Police said: “At this stage, his death is being treated as unexplained.”

Six weeks earlier another boy of 18 collapsed inside the club in Farringdon, and later died. Post-mortems for both will follow.

The club — twice named best in the world by DJ Magazine — said yesterday: “To understand how this has happened we have agreed with police and other agencies to suspend our operation whilst we investigate.”

Tickets will be refunded.

In 2014, police urged Islington Council to review Fabric’s licence in the wake of four drug- related deaths in three years.

The club added yesterday: “For the past two years Fabric has operated without incident.”
