Paul Bäumer (à direita na fotografia) faleceu ontem à noite na sua luta contra o cancro. "Ele lutou fortemente até ao fim" pode ler-se no comunicado que o seu colega Maarten escreveu. 

 

Recorde-se que o membro da dupla Bingo Players, tinha sido hospitalizado em junho deste ano, sendo pouco depois diagnosticado um cancro. A música eletrónica fica mais pobre com esta perda.

 

Recordamos a mensagem que Paul, escreveu para os fãs em julho.

 

To Our Friends and Fans - A Message From Paul (Bingo Players)

As some of you may know, I have been in the hospital over the past few weeks and I have not been at some of the recent shows while seeking medical treatment. I now have the results back and I wanted to let you know that I have been diagnosed with cancer.

 

As devastating as this news is for me and my family, I am ready to fight this.

 

From the beginning, Bingo Players has been about me and Maarten sharing the music that we love, both through our records and with you at shows. I will continue to be actively involved in all areas of Bingo Players and Hysteria Records with Maarten. But for the foreseeable future Maarten will be representing both of us on the road, while I'll be seeking medical treatment as well as working in the studio, taking lead on running our label etc.

 

All shows that are planned will still be happening and we will have more tour announcements coming. For us, we want to continue to help create those meaningful and memorable experiences from our music and shows, but as you can imagine in light of this news, we need to make some adjustments and we hope you understand. As I said earlier I'm ready to fight this thing and hope to be on that stage again with you guys in the future!!!!!

 

Much Love

Paul
