As some of you may have heard, British singer Corrine Bailey Rae lost her husband to a rumored overdose earlier this week. Above, Corrine as photographed paying her respects by bring flowers to his gave sight.Corrine was not around when husband Jason, 31, was found dead at a friend’s flat. More tests are to be done to determine the exact cause of death, but it’s looking like a drug overdose. Bob Miller, a rep for the singer, released the following statement.
”Corinne Bailey Rae and her family have been touched by the huge amount of love and support that’s flooded in from all over the world, and that is really helping all of us cope at this terrible time. Corinne is also very grateful for the privacy she is being given and the respect that has been paid to herself and Jason.”
This is such a sad loss. I love Corrine’s music and I wonder if this tragedy will have some impact on her next record.
