Lavis died on Wednesday, according to Holland.

Lavis lived in Pinchbeck, near Spalding, with his wife and son, where he wrote and recorded music in his home studio.

As well as a musician, he was known for his artwork, painting and sketching portraits of many of the artists he performed with, including Eric Clapton and Amy Winehouse.

His work was displayed in London and New York.

In 2015, he told Lincolnshire Life magazine: “The motivation of being a pop star or even being rich has gone, so now it’s seeing people enjoy themselves at shows but yes, I really enjoy my art.

“I still put my all into every show – doing less than that and you are cheating yourself and the audience but when I’m painting I’m truly at peace.”
