Mark Ronson has paid tribute to Corinne Bailey Rae’s late husband, calling Jason Rae “an incredible dude”.

Rae was a member of the Haggis Horns which has backed up stars including Corinne Bailey Rae, Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson.

Ronson has expressed his sadness at Rae’s tragic death in a post on his Myspace page. It reads, “Last Saturday, Jase Rae of The Haggis Horns passed away. It’s such a sad, sad thing, I’m sorry that I can’t really put anything into words. However, I will say that he was an incredible dude, a lovely gentle man, one of the funniest people ever, an obsessed early Nineties hip-hop super-enthusiast (he loved music more passionately and genuinely than anyone), and one of the most amazing sax players I’ve ever had the pleasure of playing with. If you’ve ever been to one of our gigs, you’ve witnessed it. He was an incredible dude, he always will be.”
