Corinne Bailey Rae’s Husband Found Dead
Posted by Bossip Staff
Corinne Bailey Rae’s husband, a saxophonist with the Haggis Horns, Jason Rae was found dead in London on Saturday:
The body of 31-year-old Jason Rae was found around 3:15 PM Saturday, a victim of an apparent drug overdose. Cops reportedly arrested a 32-year-old man for “supplying controlled substances.” He was then released on bail. No word on if his wife was at home.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his and her family. R.I.P.

SAD…….
damn i didn’t know she was married..that sucks..drugs are bad, kids! drugs are bad!
oh my… so sad.
WOW! I thought she was like 17 or 18????
My prayers go out to her and his family.
Does every star in London do drugs? Dayum…just say no!
omg this is soooo sad i live in the UK but i havent heard of it yet i will b prayin for her and his family.
Didn’t Heath Ledger”s death teach these stupid celebrities a lesson?
They must of had that Mike Tyson or the Blue Man because most of the heroin in the US is being cut so much overdoses have decreased dramatically!
@marko
he wasn’t the celebrity.
very sad news.
My, oh my,
I will pray for Corinne, she seemed very in love with him.
SB are you kidding? Jason was one of the best musicians in the UK. He could play anything and is well known.
R.I.P. and God bless to his family
I don’t feel too bad. She must have known he was a drug user. It’s complete stupidity and arrogance on his part. No one needs a Heath to know drugs are bad. Oh well.
He was a fantastic sax player and they had been together for over seven years, well before she made it big. Word has it that she did everything to help him but….
thats wa happen if u marry them white boys…
thats a pretty ignorant thing to say Kojo, tthere’s always one that will make things like this about race (rolls eyes).
what a shame, a waste of life and talent
wish I could have helped him…
*there’s
Oh boy should have said “Nope to dope and Ugh to drugs” !!!!
May he R.I.P!
I agree with Kojo, That’s what she gets for marrying a white boy. Digusting!!!!
Oh no…. I am very sad to hear about this. I want to send my love to their families.
That’s F#CKED up for her. She spoke of how their mutual love of music got them together. It’s sad that drugs ended it all. Sympathies to both of the families.
God bless the families in this tragic time.
who’s the white haters then… u darkie’s r the most racist of all……
THeRE WERE SO MANY PICS OF THEM OUT N ABOUT..AND MANY PEOPLE NEVER KNEW SHE WAS WITH HIM OR MARRIED! BUT BOSSIP NEVER POSTED THEM AS MORNING SWIRL…NEVER WANNA SHOWCASE A SISTER WITH A WHITE BOY…JUST PLAY INTO THE MEDIAS PERCEPTION OF THE BLACK ATHLETE WITH THE TROPHY WHITE BYTCH..NOW YALL WANNA POST THIS?
BOSSIP SIT DOWN
My condolences to her and her family.
Very sad.
@ Oh F@ck That
I thought she was still a teen as well bc she looks so young.
This is sad though.
why people hating on interracial lovin???
dont knock it tell u try it!!!!!
What’s the big deal? Another black girl with a weakness for dopefiends. I’m sure she’ll find another loser to complete her cycle of self aut*****d misery.
Carinne Baily Rae is a wonderful talent. My condolences to her on the loss of husband and my sympathies their families.
sad to hear that.he is a famous sax player, i even saw his video about his sax show rencently on INTerracialmatch dotcom/photo/blackchats
by the way the website is a dating site for interracial singles.the video i saw is uploaded by someone.i like his style on that show.
I SEE THE PUERTO RICAN TROLL IS ALL ON THIS STORY TALKING ***** AS USUAL, POSING AS BLACK THEN MAKING COMMENTS AS A WHITE PERSON. THAT’S RIGHT INTERRACIAL LOVE WILL CONTINUE AND THE TROLL WILL CONTINUE TO RANT ABOUT IT BECAUSE NOTHING MAKES HER ANGRIER THAN TO SEE SWIRL COUPLES. HOWEVER, SHE LOVES SEEING WHITE/BROWN PUERTO RICANS BEING MARRRIED.
First off she isnt from London Bossip she is from Leeds, another part of the UK his body was found in Leeds not London! it may sound petty but its like gettin ATL and NY CONFUSED! REPORT ON A STORY THE RIGHT WAY DAMN! Secondly no everyone out here aint on drugs, people on this site love to generalize!oh well i guess thats what you get when 96% of the population doesnt own a p*****port!
MY CONDOLENCES TO CORRINNE AND FAMILY.
TO THOSE OF YOU BRINGING RACE INTO THIS, U HAVE NO SHAME AND NO SENSE.
TO BOSSIP, U HAVE NEVER POSTED A PICTURE OF HER WITH HER HUSBAND. U OBVIOUSLY ONLY SEE IT FIT WHEN HE’S DEAD. SHAME ON YOU!!
@RENEE,
I *****UME U ARE NEW TO THIS BOARD COS IF U WEREN’T, U WOULDN’T BOTHER TRYING TO EDUCATE SOME OF THESE IGNORAMUSES. I LIVE IN UK AS WELL. I V MET SOME PPLE WHO DON’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE BLACK PPLE IN THE UK. I’M TIRED OF TRYING.
There’s indigenous *****s in the U.K.? Damn! Who da’ thunk it.
That’s sad…I didn’t know she was married.
Rest in peace to him. Corrine, you’re in my thoughts.
I AGREE WITH KOJO. I HAD A FEELING SHE WAS MARRIED TO A YT.
This is very sad. I actually gasped out loud because I was so shocked. I love Corinne’s music, but never knew she was married. I never thought anything about the “Rae” attached to her name. I hope that she has a supportive circle of friends and family to support her in this time of bereavement.
Bossip mentioned that he died of an appearant drug overdose. If that’s the case, it is not very uncommon. As a matter of fact, it affects many people…rich or poor. I hope that other artists (and others alike) can learn from the recent drug-related deaths of celebrities recently.
Again, I send my condolences to Corinne and Jason’s family.
Sorry for using “recent” so much.
Someone is dead and all some of you dummies can talk about is his race?
HAVE U FORGOTTEN THAT CORINNE IS 1/2 WHITE HERSELF?
Not only is she 1/2 white, but she currently has a vacancy in her sweet tight *****. I need to fill out me one of those rental applications and squirt out me a deposit.
@JRiddles
Happy Easter to you girl! Some of these posters are pathetice, but what can you expect in 2008
I decry the arguments about her husband’s race, her mother is white ans her fatheter west indian, so who cares what some of the bloggers think .it is none of your business.
Spelling (and) (father)
g
He was a long time drug user; so keep your damn condolenses to yourself.
I don’t feel anything for him.
That goes for Heath Ledger fans too. Those folks been b*****in for a long time and the ***** finally cought up witgh them.
Game over.
As for the drugs? In America, it’s a 200 billion dollar a year, taxfree business that all races are profiting from. Even us Negrose.
It ain’t going nowhere.
I’m out.
VanGogh
Her father is BLACK (Jamaican), her mother is WHITE (English).
@JRiddles. . .your hair is very beautiful.
I wish the best for Corinne. She is my second favorite singer (my first is CHRISETTE MICHELE).
JRiddles got light skin and good hair, she lucky.
It looks like he OD’d on Adidas.
I know that was wrong. sorry.
RIP
oh my god…
Yup and what would she get for marrying a black man. Hmmm, maybe a bunch of babies to care for alone, no help with the bills, baby-mommas calling her, and ignorance, pure ignorance all day every day. I’m just saying, since some of you want to put this ignorant race mess out there. Of course you never diss your “brothers” and their white women do you? DO YOU? Fools!
THEY HAVE EVERY INDIGENOUS RACE IN BRITAIN, EXCEPT FOR PUERTO RICAN SPICS, OF COURSE.
so sorry for corrine and her family….
GOOD RIDDANCE. .. HOPE TO SEE ALL OF THESE CRACK HEAD MF’ERS IN HOLLYWOOD OFF THEMSELVES THIS YEAR. HEATH GOT IT OFF TO A GOOD START.
He was a excellent sax player and they had been together for over seven years, but someone saw his profile on a famouse site SugarmommyMeet.com. it is said it caters to wealthy women seeking handsome and charming men for love, maybe he need a sugarmomma to spoil him.
OH MY THAT IS TERRIBLE. PRAYERS TO THEIR FAMILY.
A terrible blow, but that’s how it go. If you wanna be a junkie . . .
Wheww wee!!!Cant blame the black man for this *****!!!she’ll get over it in no time that ***** will hop an her bicycle and find the next white dope head and support his habit!!! much love to the sistas who find this story bull*****!!!black on black love i love your blackness! ***** mixed marriages!shalom!
SMH, some of you don’t know when to chill out.
It’s hard to tell if all these people are racially retarded or just bored trying to start *****.
A guy can’t even just die without turning it into a whole different non-issue.
WOW!! How did this become about race as oppose to showing sympathy to a woman (rather she be black, white,brown or all of the above)who lost just lost her husband!! It’s a sad day in the world when another man loses his life to drugs and all anyone cares about was the color of his and his wife’s skin! ;p Corrine, if no one else cares enough to pray and send condolences…..I do!
this is sad
i hope her family net is strong cause she is gona need the support, and if the drug rumors are true i hope she isnt involved in them too.
THAT’s Such a Shame & sad What;s that man dies
Just saw this on another site and came to see if Bossip posted it. Funny, Bossip has never posted ***** about her before, ‘cuz her boo was yt. Now all of a sudden, y’all on her case.
Corrine, my condolences.
Another dead white boy from dealing with drugs & don’t say ***** because plenty of times folks up here have dogged out black folks that have p*****ed away as a result of using drugs so don’t try it!!! RIP!!!
Freedom!!!!! Go make and spend that dough girl. Travel and enjoy the world!!!!
Although I want to feel sorry for him she had to know this Yt fuqqer was a drug addict, so why marry him and sing the songs like he is the greatest thing? She looks more black than whyte, too. So is this Y she hasn’t released an album in 2yrs?? Chasing yt trying to keep him clean? MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN funk that!! Marry Black!
What’s wrong my love baby? She is so lovely .I love her very much.I saw her in millonaire dating site”W e a l t h y L o v i n g . c o m” .Dose she really searhing her true love in this site?
I feel for Corrine. I hate to see a fine white man go out like that. She has my prayers.
This woman just lost her husband. Can you people empathize without turning this into a race issue?
Why do some African-Americans have such a chip on their shoulders about race? Can’t you all let it go for the sake of your own sanity? Do you think this bitterness is hurting white people? Nooo! It is hurting you! It is hurting only you! Think about that! My condolences to this hurting woman on the tragic death of her husband.
RIP
I PRAY 4 HER
wow this is sad
Corinne is mixed herself. Her mom is white and dad is black. Love has no color.
sad so sad
