'His memory will live on forever in our hearts and through the music he put out into the world for you all,' the band said.
Liverpool-based indie band The Night Café have announced that their singer Sean Martin has passed away.
“We are devastated to share the sudden passing of our best friend Sean,” the band wrote online. “Words can’t describe the pain we are feeling right now, we’re still struggling to process it all. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of Sean’s family and friends during this difficult time.”
They added: “Sean was not just our band mate, he was our childhood best friend that we shared so many memories with before the band even started. We made so many more memories along the way and achieved things we only dreamt of that we will cherish forever.
“His memory will live on forever in our hearts and through the music he put out into the world for you all. RIP Sean Martin.”
The band formed in 2014, going on to release debut EP Get Away From The Feeling in 2017.
Their debut album, 0151, was released in 2019 and they released an EP titled For Better Days in 2021.
Paying tribute, one fan wrote: “Genuinely in pieces. The Night Café soundtracked my teens, will forever love this band. Rest in peace Sean, thank you for the memories.”
Another said: “Cannot describe just how much this hurts. The Night Café have been everything to me since I was 15 years old and this feels like losing a friend. Not only one of the most talented and soulful musicians in indie, but also just such a lovely, kindhearted, sound fella. Heartbroken.”
Martin’s cause of death is yet to be disclosed.
