Numan, 67, has since confirmed the death of his brother John in a statement, released on Monday evening.
He wrote: My brother John died suddenly in the early hours of Saturday morning in Leeds, he was just 60 years old.
‘He had spent the evening with me at my Telekon show, catching up, swapping stories, telling me about his newly found love for reading.”
