The singer’s death was announced on Monday 11 January, and came following a secret 18-month battle with cancer.
Angie and David married David in March 1970, and she inspired a number of tracks, including ‘The Prettiest Star’, ‘Golden Years’ and ‘Cracked Actor’.
After nine years of marriage, during which they had a son together, the couple separated and subsequently divorced in February 1980.
