A statement from the drummer's family said: "Devon Clifford was an extremely gifted drummer and determined character.

"He loved his family, loved his band, loved travelling, loved being on stage and loved meeting people around the world.

"He was smart, witty, passionate, and music meant everything to him."

The statement also revealed the brain haemorrhage was brought on by congenital defects.
