Extremely saddening news just reached us; one half of Bingo Players, Paul Bäumer, was diagnosed with Cancer a little while back. We really do hope Paul succeeds in his fight and returns back to making music and playing fantastic live shows with the energy the duo has now become famous for bringing to each performance.

The entire dance music community must certainly extend their support and be with Paul in every step on the way to his recovery.

We at The Bangin Beats would like to extend our complete support and wishes to Paul, his family and his friends and wish him a speedy recovery and hope he returns stronger than ever.

Paul has also released an official statement for fans worldwide. Hit past the break to read his statement.

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
