Bailey Rae's husband is found dead

The husband of British soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae was found dead in Leeds on Saturday from a suspected drugs overdose.
West Yorkshire police said that they were called to an apartment in the Hyde Park area of the city where they found the body of a 31-year-old man, later identified as Jason Rae.
Police said that a 32-year-old man was arrested under suspicion of supplying drugs and freed on bail.
A post-mortem on the body of Jason Rae, a saxophonist with the group the Haggis Horns, proved inconclusive, and police are awaiting toxicology reports.
In a statement, Bailey Rae's record label EMI said: "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."
