Ok, this thread title is WRONG. She did not die. Her HUSBAND DIED.

BTW, who the hell is Corinne Bailey?

The thread title was fixed. Still, I have no clue who Corinne is. :confused:

I've heard of her before here's a music video Put Your Records On

Well, still not familiar with her or her work. I did some research and found she DID WIN A GRAMMY.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corinne_Bailey_Rae here's the wikipedia page you might of already looked at it she is from England she was nomiated for best new artist and song for Put Your Records On at the 2007 Grammys she lost to Carrie Underwood for Best new artist and the Dixie Chicks for song and album of the year

Awww, that's so sad. :( My heart goes out to her.

It is sad, especially when you consider his death could have been avoided. Apparently the person who supplied the drugs to him has been arrested.

So tragic... my heart goes out to her... :(

:(

it's sad but ironic at the same time. Corinne Bailey Rae was Amy Winehouse, one year earlier (not as trainwreckish, but the same way with coming from England and being an unlikely US pop star with support from Oprah, etc...) and people have been waiting for this huge tragedy to happen with Amy, especially since her husband is as big a mess as she is, and instead it happens to Corinne.
