Much-loved indie band Viola Beach remembered six years on from their tragic deaths in Sweden

The music world was today mourning the loss six years on of much-loved indie band Viola Beach and their manager.

The Warrington band - Kris Leonard, 19, River Reeves, 19, Tomas Lowe, 27, and Jack Dakin, 19 - and their manager Craig Tarry, 32, where all killed when their hired Nissan Qashqai plunged off a bridge into a canal in Stockholm, Sweden, after it drove through two barriers on a motorway.

The tragedy on February 13, 2016, remains a largely unexplained accident after a coroner at an inquest into the deaths said he didn't believe it would ever be known what exactly happened.

But today - six years on from the tragedy - music fans around the world, and friends and supporters of the band, are still grieving the loss, whilst remembering their music, reports Cheshire Live.

And fundraising in the band's memory is expected to help young bands in Manchester and beyond fulfil their potential and achieve their dreams, as Viola Beach did.

To mark the anniversary, a limited edition rainbow vinyl edition of Viola Beach's self-titled album was released on February 11 by Fuller Beans Records.

Its rainbow design pays homage to a rainbow umbrella the lads were once photographed with for a press shot.

The band's family members and fans all hope the release will shoot Viola Beach's music up the vinyl charts.

In the months after their deaths - in April 2016 - several of the band's friends, influencers and chart-topping acts performed at a tribute concert held in their memory at Parr Hall in Warrington - including Blossoms, the Courteeners, the Coral, the Kooks and the Zutons.

Their only studio album Viola Beach' was released posthumously in July 2016, reaching
