Corinne returns to the spotlight

HEARTBROKEN singer CORINNE BAILEY RAE is returning to the spotlight for the
first time since the shock death of her husband JASON RAE.

The singer/songwriter was widowed when her saxophonist hubby was found dead in
a Leeds flat earlier this year, with preliminary pathologist reports
suggesting his tragic death could have been caused by an excess of drugs and
drink.

The young couple met at university, marrying when Corinne was 22.

Jason's band HAGGIS HORNS had played with AMY WINEHOUSE, LILY
ALLEN and MARK RONSON - who attended his funeral in April just as
Corinne fled the music scene in order to grieve.

But the Put Your Records On star is set to make her first live appearance to
play on Channel 4's Live From Abbey Road TV show, filmed at the London
recording studio made famous by the BEATLES.

She will join legendary jazz musician HERBIE HANCOCK to play the set on
Thursday.
