Will Young has broken his silence on the death of Darius Campbell Danesh with a touching tribute posted on Instagram.
The 41-year-old singer-songwriter and actor was found dead in his US apartment last week, his family announced in a statement on Tuesday. Will - the winner of the first series of Pop Idol in 2001 - described Darius as “driven, courageous and gentle.”
The pair competed together in the series, which saw Darius place third behind Will and runner-up Gareth Gates. Will shared a photo of the pair from their Pop Idol days, smiling and with their arms around one another.
