Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband has been found dead from a suspected drug overdose.

Police discovered the body of Scottish-born saxophonist Jason Rae, 31 in an apartment in the Hyde Park area of Leeds, England on Sunday.

Police arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs before later releasing him on bail pending further inquiries.

Corinne met her musician husband while working as a cloakroom attendant at a Leeds jazz club. They were married in 2001.

The singing star’s record label offered condolences to the singer in a statement released Sunday: “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.”
