Working with Ed has always been an immense source of joy for us all and we are devastated by his loss. Bellowhead x

Tragically in October this year he discovered that the cancer had come back. We are unbelievably sad to have to tell you all that Ed passed away on Christmas Eve surrounded by his family. All our love goes out to his wife Cathryn and his two wonderful children James and Beth.

Those who came along to the 2024 Bellowhead tour will remember our wonderful helicon player and dear friend Ed Neuhauser taking centre stage for the introduction to Fire Marengo. What you wouldn't have realised is that Ed was diagnosed with a brain tumour 12 months previously.

Were you watching the @BeyondPOfficial Christmas Special on BBC One? We particularly enjoyed the ending.... 😜🎄 If you missed it, you can watch on BBC iPlayer
