Corinne Bailey Rae Fronted Anti-Drugs Campaign

In a grim twist of fate, it has emerged that Corinne Bailey-Rae was fronting an anti-drugs campaign at the time that her husband was found dead of a suspected drugs overdose.

As previously reported on Gigwise, the body of soulful British singer Corinne Bailey-Rae’s husband, Jason Rae, was found in a flat in Leeds last Saturday.

Though a post-mortem examination carried out on his body on Saturday night proved inconclusive, officials are awaiting the results of a toxicology report.

Corinne Bailey-Rae is fronting West Yorkshire Police’s ‘3-Minute Wonder’ campaign, that encourages youngsters under the age of nineteen to submit songs against the drug-use, with the winner of the competition due to be picked this coming May.

In a recent statement during the launch of the competition, Bailey-Rae said: "Helping raise awareness amongst teenagers about the danger of drugs is vital. The impact of drugs in our communities cannot be underestimated."
