He also published a photo of himself and the late music executive on the social media page.

The singer wrote: “This is by far the hardest thing I have had to write.

I am hurt, broken, sad, and lost.”

“For the first time in my life, I am EXTREMELY confused. The pain is one I cannot explain.

“44 was more than an elder brother to me, he was a protector.

“He was someone that literally just always made me smile.

“His response was always ‘Don’t worry, I’ll talk to them,’ ‘Don’t worry I’ll sort it out,’ and ‘Don’t worry I’ll give them something.

“I would never believe in a million years I will be writing a tribute like this to someone so dear to me this soon.

“All my life it’s been ‘David you’re strong, David you’re strong.’

“44 I won’t lie to you, this time around, this one WEAKENS ME!!
