Corinne Bailey Rae Plays First Gig Since Husband's Death

August 11, 2008
Corinne Bailey Rae Plays First Gig Since Husband's DeathCorinne Bailey Rae made her first public appearance since the death of her husband, Jason Rae, last week.

Bailey Rae joined The Soul Daddies for the last twenty minutes of their set at the Limetree Festival in North Yorkshire.

The singer agreed to appear at the festival after the new bands stage was named in tribute to her late husband.

Rae died from a suspected overdose at his flat in Leeds in March.

He was the saxophonist in the Leeds band Haggis Horns and had collaborated with such stars as Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson.

Speaking after her husband's death, Bailey Rae said she had been “touched by the huge amount of love and support that's flooded in from all over the world.”
