TTF vocalist Mary Kiani, who was engaged to John for nine years, told her followers of his sad passing, saying: "Just heard this morning that my first love John Reid died suddenly. We met in Glasgow but fell in love in London", reports the Mirror.
"He was recording his album with Roy Hay (Culture Club) for his new band 'This Way Up'. Myself and Danusia DanooshaZaremba were on tour, and every night we met at the Columbian hotel. We bought our first flat in Dennistoun at age 21 and 22. We were both doing great with our music.
Tributes have poured in for the Scottish DJ-and-songwriter"The birth of The Nightcrawlers happened (Push the feeling on). We toured, we recorded, we did our vocal sessions together. We parted 9 years later. Last year, I got in touch with him. I said I'd love to say hello again before one of us dies. I saw him just last year in Glasgow."
Meanwhile, Chris Judge, Susan Boyle's vocal coach and Red Hot Chilli Pipers singer, also shared his memories: "RIP John Reid, an incredible Scottish singer with so much soul most famous for his vocals in the Nightcrawlers hit push the feeling on.. it's been sampled so many times Pitbull, the Friday song by Riton Mufasa and Hypeman etc.
"He was also an extremely talented topline writer, who wrote 'A moment like this' hit after hit for Tina Turner, Rod Stewart, Leona Lewis, Westlife. Sending love to my besty Mary Kiani you guys were the OG Session singers of the 90s I've loved hearing your story's Sjo Big hugs xxx".
John with music icon Boy GeorgeChris further reminisced: "I remember him from doing road shows all over the country.. back when I was in the boy band days he was always such a nice guy very encouraging and supportive to all the new bands.
"He had so much success as a writer but it was his voice I loved he was an incredible singer and well respected like Mary in the session scene doing all the backing vocals working for people like Ian Levine."
The cause of John's death has not yet been confirmed by his loved ones.
