Today we received the devastating news that a great friend, Porsche Ellis passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. Andy Ellis her husband and former trombone player with the band made the following announcement this morning.

Friends. It’s with a heavy heart that I write this to tell you that my darling wife and best friend, Porsche Ellis sadly lost her fight with cancer yesterday evening. She passed away peacefully after spending the day with her family. I’ll be in touch to let you know funeral arrangements as I know there are so many people who’s heart she touched but for now, I need to care for the kids and the loss of their mum. Say a prayer for us all.

Everyone at Freckleton Band offers our deepest condolences to Andy and family at this sad time.
