Show goes on as Laine’s jazz star husband dies

CLEO LAINE was yesterday praised for her “incredible” bravery after she went ahead with an important concert following the death of her husband, jazz legend John Dankworth.

The event marked the 40th anniversary of the entertainment venue the couple set up together at their Buckinghamshire home.

The 82-year-old saxophonist, whose career spanned more than half a century, died on Saturday in King Edward VII Hospital, London. He had been ill for several months.
