Bingo Players‘ Paul Baumer went absent from the duo’s schedule this summer and was diagnosed with cancer in July. After battling the disease for four months, Maarten has delivered the unfortunate news that the artist had passed away last night. He notes that he fought his battle against cancer with strength until the end. Since the summer the dance music world has kept Paul in their prayers, even paying homage at events to the fighting Bingo Player, and the news of his passing comes as saddening to all fans and peers alike. Here is Maarten’s letter to their fans as of this morning:

Dear All,
I’m deeply saddened to tell you that Paul passed away last night after his battle with cancer. He fought strongly until the end.

We want to thank you all for your support over the past few months.

Needless to say, all upcoming shows for the rest of this year have been cancelled as we’re going through this loss with family and friends. We’ll post a longer update shortly with more information as well.

Paul, we will miss you.
– Maarten
