Petri Keskitalo has passed away at the age of 50.

Petri joined Gourmet in 2003 and played tuba on all Gourmet gigs from June 2004 onwards, as well as on the four albums Six Acres of Broken Hearts (2004), Cosmopolitan Sideshow (2011), En garde (2018) and New Habitat (2020).

His contribution to Gourmet and the Finnish music world cannot be overestimated. His musicianship, humor and spirit will be sorely missed.
