She explained how Dave had protected her as she dealt with anxiety attacks and terrifying stalker ordeals after hitting the big time.
‘He would take me on a walk every night after a show and he would be the first person I see in the morning and… I’ve had many people in my life that have come in and out and have been with me the whole time but he was like my big brother’.
‘Not everyone liked him but I loved that man and I still love him so much and I wish he was here to see his children, his family, to see what I’ve achieved so I want to keep him alive in this music and talk about him and hope that being too late for him means it can’t be too late for someone else.’
Following his death she penned in a tribute: ‘The love you had for your children. Was everything. We would laugh till we cried nearly everyday.
‘We created Penelope and the blue Shetland pony together. We talked about our dreams. We talked about what our biggest fears were. You weren’t just my security, we ARE family. 4 years. Me and you.
