Corinne Bailey Rae is devastated following the death of her husband, Jason Rae, who was found dead on a friend's sofa on Saturday.
The 31 year old saxophonist is thought to have died from a suspected drugs overdose, just six months after buying a house in Leeds with his soul star wife.
Ironically Corinne was fronting an anti-drugs campaign when her musician husband died.
Jason's band The Haggis Horns said on MySpace yesterday: ‘Our thoughts, love and actions are to help all the people who knew him, his family and his incredible wife Corinne.’
A statement from Bailey Rae's label read: ‘EMI Records would like to offer its sincere condolences to Corinne Bailey Rae and the Rae family at this tragic time. We ask that the media respects Corinne's privacy and that of her entire family.’
Bailey Rae met her husband while working as a cloakroom attendant in a Leeds jazz club. The pair married in 2001.
