"On Sunday morning after my performance at SWG3's Galvanizers Yard in Glasgow, I heard the news that two people had sadly passed away.

"It's hard to put into words the sadness I feel for the families and loved ones.

"A full police investigation is currently underway and I ask that you please respect the privacy of the families involved whilst the police continue to search for answers."

We previously reported officers said they are treating both deaths as drugs related. 

Chief Superintendent Mark Sutherland, Divisional Commander for Greater Glasgow, said: "Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of the two men who have lost their lives.

"So far in our enquiries, it has been established that both of these men, who were unknown to each other, attended the same event in the Eastvale Place area of Glasgow on Saturday night.

"However, enquiries remain ongoing and although we are investigating both deaths as drug-related at this time, there is no evidence to suggest there is a connection between these deaths.

"We are committed to establishing the full circumstances and are working with the venue, colleagues in the NHS and Public Health Scotland as our enquiries continue to ensure a partnership and public health-led approach."

A spokesperson for SWG3 said: "We are absolutely devastated that there were two fatalities amongst audience members following the event on Saturday.

"We are currently supporting the police with their inquiries and our deepest sympathies are with the family members and friends at this incredibly difficult time."
