Two members of Chuck Mangione's band, Gerry Niewood and Coleman Mellett, were among the passengers killed on Flight 3407, Publicist Sanford Brokaw said today.

They were en route to Buffalo for tonight's performance with the Buffalo Philharmonic, which has been postponed.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Mangione said: "I'm in shock over the horrible, heartbreaking tragedy."

BPO spokesman Mike Lazzaro said a new date for the concert would be announced at a later date.
