EMF, the English alt-rock band, has announced the passing of their founding member and keyboardist, Derry Brownson, at the age of 55. The band shared the news on social media, expressing their devastation at the loss of their "Brother In Arms." Brownson had been battling a brain tumor and undergoing treatment.

The band had been working on a new 14-song album before Brownson's passing. Tributes poured in from fellow musicians and fans, expressing their condolences and sharing memories of the talented keyboardist. EMF's music has left a lasting impact on the music industry, and Brownson's contributions will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
