Jimmy Somerville tribute to Orlando victims
Frontman of synth-band Bronski Beat and the Communards Jimmy Somerville has said he is "baffled" by atrocities committed against people for being gay.
The singer shared a moving tribute video on his Facebook page which has now been seen by almost three and a half million people.
He said the idea of someone thinking "you should die because of who you choose to love" makes him "so sad".
The singer was one of the first truly 'out' gay popstars in the public eye in the 1980s.
