Bailey Rae's Hubby Found Dead by Josh Grossberg (E!online)
Jason Rae, the musician-husband of soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae, was found dead Saturday in a London flat of a suspected drug overdose. He was 31. According to British media reports, police have arrested an unidentified 32-year-old man for allegedly "supplying controlled substances." He was subsequently released on bail. Rae, who played the saxophone, was scheduled to perform with his band, Haggis Horns, on Sunday night at the HiFi Club in Leeds. That gig has subsequently been cancelled. No word on his more famous wife's whereabouts or whether she was with him when he died. An autopsy was inconclusive and police are currently waiting on the results of toxicology tests before making a final determination on cause of death. article

The Raconteurs' second album, Consolers Of The Lonely, will be out on Tuesday. I'll be catching Jack White, Brendan Benson and the boys at Jazz Fest in May.

Planning to catch the return of Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles' return to Cafe Nine on Friday night. A pre-game nap would be a good idea for this cowboy in anticaption of the usual post-11pm showtime. The Reet and Sharie are passing, but Keith may suck it up and accompany me. The K&S concert tour, fresh from seeing Bruce Springsteen at HCC and Jersey Boys in NYC, has booked one of the nine Billy Joel shows at Mohegan Sun (if Piano Boy can drive from Long Island that many times without smashing into a tree). Sharie has refused to report to johnnykmusic about either event.
