“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.

“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 Night Cafe formed in 2014 and released their debut EP ‘Get Away From The Feeling’ in 2017.

The band toured widely and performed at many festivals before releasing their debut album 0151 in 2019.

Martin was the band’s lead singer and guitarist alongside guitarist Josh Higgins, bassist Arran O’Connell Whittle and drummer Carl Dillon.

The group formed while the four musicians were still at secondary school in Liverpool.

They named the band The Night Cafe after the Vincent van Gogh painting of the same name.
