I'm hearing reports of the death of jazz writer Ira Gitler. https://t.co/iwlNqSqbjx Ira has been a great inspiration to me (and many others)—I've been turning to these works for ages, and they still are my go-to guides. A terrible loss for the jazz community. pic.twitter.com/qPFxBuRzyj

Very sorry to hear the news that #MarkHollis of #TalkTalk has died. He was behind some of the finest albums of the 1980s / early 1990s. R.I.P. pic.twitter.com/IoTuAkGCUf

Police said they were "called to concerns for the welfare of a man" just after 08:00 GMT. "Sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
