An inquest into the death of Chris Hardman, who was 24 and from Lowestoft, in Suffolk, has found he died from hanging.
The pop star, known as Lil' Chris, shot to fame in Channel 4's Rock School after Kiss frontman Gene Simmons made him the lead singer of a student band.
McBusted drummer Harry Judd has hailed his friend Lil' Chris as an "amazing guy" and "talented kid" following news of the Suffolk singer's death.
The 24-year-old from Lowestoft was found dead in the town on Monday morning.

McBusted recently performed a song in tribute to the singer because he used to support their former band McFly.
