James Morrison, famous for the hit “Broken Strings,” is “devastated” by the loss of Gill, the mother of his two daughters, Elsie, aged 15, and Ada, aged five. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time, seeking comfort in mutual support.
A source told The Sun: “Gill was found dead at the family home in Whitminster. James is devastated and is receiving support from the family. He is with his daughters, but has asked that the family be left alone to grieve privately.”

Gill was known in the local community as the owner of the Cotswold Sandwich cafe, a beloved establishment in the region. Her death has left a void in the community and among those who knew her.

The love story of James and Gill began in an unusual way. They met when Gill moved into the house of James’s mother, initially as a guest with her then-boyfriend. The romance between James and Gill blossomed three months after she ended her previous relationship.

James Morrison rose to fame in 2006 with the release of “You Give Me Something,” a track from his debut album “Undiscovered,” which reached number 1 in the charts. He followed up with hits like “Songs for You, Truths for Me” in 2008, “The Awakening” in 2011, “Higher Than Here” in 2015, and most recently “You’re Stronger Than You Know” in 2019.

The loss of Gill Catchpole is deeply felt by James, their daughters, and all who knew her. The Morrison family, in this time of mourning, hopes to find peace and privacy to cope with this painful loss.
