I know someone will turn it into a joke but sad to hear Chris Rea has gone.

Sad news
Really sad news. New Light Through Old Windows is a great collection of his music and one I still listen to regularly.

Absolute gutted, I just loved his music. I watched him in concert at Nottingham and he played with two totally different bands on the Same night and was brilliant.
I sincerely hope not.

Really sad to hear.
My favourite Christmas song, "Driving Home For Christmas".
Certainly no joke from here.
Sad news. Although I never met him, I used know the family - work, golf & snooker every Wednesday. Lovely family. It almost feels personal. Pretty much got the full catalogue. Fav album, Auberge

A true master of his craft. Auberge is an absolute banger of an album.
I'm not one to start a conspiracy, but there's a worrying amount of celebs who are most famous for their Christmas songs who have died on or around Christmas.
Chris Rea - Dies 3 days before Christmas
Kirsty MacColl - died 18th Dec
George Michael - died Christmas Day
Shane McGowan - died 30th Nov (but born Christmas Day)
Eartha Kitt - died Christmas Day
Dean Martin - died Christmas Day
I'd be absolutely bricking it every christmas period if I had a well known Christmas song.

. Hasn't been seen for a while now so this is not a great surprise, sadly.One of those guys you don't hear bad things about. Good guy, excellent musician. His music stands up now quite wonderfully. A sad day.

Had it on my turntable just a few days ago. We will always be driving home for Christmas…and a favourite track…maybe Josephine, but there are so many.
god bless you Chris. Great music, magnificent legacy left.

There’s a track on the Auberge album, “gone fishing.” Coincidentally, I have it on now. It’s just beautiful.

Smashing bloke, so talented. Not sure how long ago he was on Gone Fishing, but he didn't look well then.
