Condolences: Lliam Oliver and Sarah Kate O'Melia
Lliam Oliver, aged 33, died with Sarah Kate O'Melia, 23, when the red Vauxhall Astra in which they were both passengers crashed on Beaver Hill Road, Woodhouse.
Lliam, a father of three sons, from Lowfield, was a well-respected musician and veteran of Sheffield bands, having played previously with city outfit Slo-mo.
Gledhill - named after vocalist David Gledhill - was formed in 2004, and aimed to "write the biggest, most uplifting, epic songs man had ever heard".
Their second album, Constellations, released in 2006, was put together with the help of Oasis producer Owen Morris.
Music critics at the time said Gledhill, who supported Tears for Fears on tour, could "expect to be big" and were "a band about to achieve everything they have ever dreamed of".
David described Lliam as "the most fiercely loyal band member and friend you will ever have".
Upcoming Sheffield band The Regulars said Lliam was a "kind and helpful" friend.
They added: "Lliam was so encouraging towards us and always had time for us. It meant a lot to a young band starting out. If only we could have enjoyed his friendship longer."
Witnesses to the crash should call police on 0114 220 2970.
