The Liverpool-based band announced the sudden and tragic news of his death via an Instagram post.
In a heartfelt statement, The Night Cafe expressed their deep grief, describing Sean Martin as not just a bandmate but their “childhood best friend.”
The band is devastated by the loss of a beloved member and the memories they shared with him long before the band’s inception.
Formed in 2014 during their school days, the band includes members Josh Higgins, Arran O’Connell Whittle, and Carl Dillon, all of whom have been profoundly affected by Martin’s passing.
“Words can’t describe the pain we are feeling right now; we’re still struggling to process it all,” the Night Cafe stated.
The loss of Sean Martin is a poignant reminder of the strong bond that music and friendship can forge.
