According to a CNN article published on Monday, March 24, 2008, singer Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband, Jason Rae, was found dead on Saturday. Upon examination of the body, the cause of death was inconclusive and police were awaiting a toxicology report. Several articles since then, however, suspect a drug overdose.

Jason was a Scottish-born musician that played the saxophone with the funk group, Haggis Horns that played as a back up band for Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson as well as Corinne herself.

I personally have never heard of Haggis Horns, but I have definitely heard of Corinne Bailey Rae and I love her music. So, I suppose I could have heard of Haggis Horns if they were ever playing on a track that I was particularly digging. My heart goes out to Corinne in this time of loss and hope that it turns out to be something beyond a drug overdose. It seems that is happening all too often lately.
If you haven’t heard of Corinne Bailey Rae, I suggest you check her out.
