Chris Rea RIP

[Biggles]

Sad news today on Chris’s passing.

He has had health issues since the 1990’s and a stroke 9 years ago.

“Road to Hell” was one of his many Albums that went to No 1 in the Album charts in 1989.

His “Driving Home For Christmas” is a seasonal favourite.

Thanks for the music, RIP.

He had a unique voice and superb singing skill and guitar skill.
Love his music.
Way too young to die . . my age. ( gasp!)
RIP Chris Rea

Despite him writing and singing Road to Hell, I hope he is on the Road to Heaven!
RIP Chris!!!

Alas Chris was not the only one to pass recently.

Mick Abrahams has also passed, aged 82.

Mick was a founding member of our Ray’s fave band Jethro Tull.

Just found out , just been playing "Tell me there`s a heaven" he wrote .
Seems fitting really.
Bit of foresight really?

Sad to note the passing of Chris Rea. His Road to Hell was a song we sang when we came down a rough trail while skiing. He never toured the US ...

Blue Café is one of my many favourites from Chris.
