The band have confirmed the news, posting the following on their official website:
"On Friday we learnt of the sudden passing of Richard Turner. Rich played trumpet in our live gigs on and off for three years. He was an utterly exceptional musician and his contributions to our shows will be hugely missed.
He was also an accomplished and admired composer. Here’s some music he wrote for his own band Round Trip."
