Corinne Bailey Rae husband found dead
Jason Rae, age 31, hubby of Corrine Bailey Rae was found dead Saturday, at his home in Leeds, England. The cause of death appears to be a drug overdose. Friends knew about his substance abuse and say he struggled with his addiction for years.
Corrine is devastated. She was always talking about how fortunate she is for having found the love of her life so soon. The two got married in 2001 and soon after that Corrine’s music career took off. Jason was saxophonist with the group the Haggis Horns.
Here is a part of the West Yorkshire Police statement:
“Police were called to a flat in the Hyde Park area of Leeds – where they found the body of a 31-year-old man. A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs. He is now on police bail pending further enquiries.”
Bailey Rae’s record label EMI said in a statement:
“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.”
I guess it’s pretty stupid to say “I’m sorry for your loss” when someone you loved with all your heart is gone.
Good luck to you Corrine! You’re a wonderful singer. Hang in there!
