Tom died just after midnight after a three-year battle with cancer.

He has since been described as an "incredible guitarist" and a "funny, intelligent and sweet man".

In a message to fans, his brother Dan wrote: "He was my closest and oldest friend. He was a funny, intelligent and sweet man and he leaves an enormous void in all of our lives.

"For now we need to begin to process what has happened.

"Myself, Sam, Ali and Adam will need time to fully come to terms with the loss of our brother.

"We hope that everyone out there will continue to respect our privacy during this terribly difficult time."

He founded the band with twin brother Dan in 2004.

They are particularly well known for hits "Naysayer" and "These Colours Don't Run".

Tom was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer back in 2013, but was given the all clear after an operation to remove part of his lower leg.
