Tangerine Dream's Edgar Froese Dead At 70

. (Classic Rock) Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese has died at the age of 70, it's been announced. He passed away last Tuesday after suffering a pulmonary embolism - a blockage in the artery that transports blood to the lungs - but news of his death was only made public this evening via the band's Facebook page.

A statement reads: "On January 20th, Tuesday afternoon, Edgar Froese suddenly and unexpectedly passed away from the effects of a pulmonary embolism in Vienna. The sadness in our hearts is immense.

"Edgar once said, 'There is no death, there is just a change of our cosmic address.' Edgar, this is a little comfort to us." Froese formed Tangerine Dream in 1967 and released their debut Electronic Meditation in 1970. Read more here.
