Tragically he couldn't be saved and was declared dead at the scene shortly after.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the man was a member of the festival's crew.

The force added: "The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner."

Jason Wilder, real name Jason Winder, 48, suffered a medical episode at the music festival.

Tributes have now flooded in for Jason from his pals in the music industry.

Pal Tim Newton, who performed on Phuket Radio in Thailand with Jason, said: "Such a natural-born engager and entertainer - solo behind the mic, or in the company of close friends and family, or in front of thousands.

"He was certainly the best expat radio talent that ever graced a microphone in Thailand."
