Corinne Bailey Rae has used her website to thank her fans for their support following the death of her husband, Jason Rae.

Corinne has thanked all those that have attempted to get in touch with her since Rae died in Leeds on March 22, after a suspected drug overdose.

On her official site, her manager Bob Miller posted on the singer's behalf: "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.

He adds: "Corinne is also very grateful for the privacy she is being given and the respect that has been paid to herself and Jason."

As a professional musician, Rae had played for a number of big acts including Mark Ronson, Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen as well as playing alongside his wife.
