Corinne Bailey-Rae's Lonely Life

Bailey Rae's Home Life Struggle After Husband's Death

British soul singer Corinne Bailey Rae struggled to cope in her marital home after her husband died - because she hates living by herself.

The Put Your Records On hitmaker was left devastated following the sudden passing of Jason Rae, a member of superproducer Mark Ronson's band, who died from an accidental drug overdose in March, 2008.

And spending time at their house in Leeds, England was tough for Bailey Rae following the tragedy.

She tells Britain's Red magazine, "Leeds is my home and will always be my base. I'm gradually learning to enjoy living on my own, but it's a very new thing and, to be honest, I'm still getting used to it.

"But people are always descending on me, there's always someone around my house, which I need - in an ideal world I'd live in a commune."
