Lil' Chris's sister Hannah Hardman has spoken out about her late brother's struggles with depression and other mental health issues.
The musician passed away last month and an inquest heard yesterday that he died by hanging.
Hannah told ITV's This Morning: "It's been tough ever since it actually happened.
"You can never prepare yourself for losing anyone, and I guess it makes it harder when it's someone that wasn't just loved by us but seemed to be loved by a lot of people."
Hannah added of her brother: "He was the most amazing type you could ever have. He was the person that everybody saw, he was never anybody else, he was always just Chris.
"He was kind and generous, and he always thought of everyone else before him - that was his main thing.
"He was not only my brother but one of my best friends. He was such...

A Jack Black-free take on School Of Rock will be hitting small screens in the near future…
You’re not hardcore, unless you live hardcore. But is the legend of the TV remake way hardcore? Only time will tell.
Ahem. Anyway, there’s a new version of School Of Rock on the way, destined for the small screen and ordered by Nickelodeon (owned by Paramount, who made the original film).
On executive production duties are cinematic School Of Rock producer Scott Rudin and Richard Linklater, who directed the original (and currently has the astounding Boyhood in cinemas). This will hopefully ensure that the new version, which won’t star Jack Black, will at least have some quality control from the team behind the much-loved film.
Despite Black’s absence, his character Dewey is still the protagonist. We've no idea yet who will be stepping into his shoes, though.
Tangentially,...
