Holy cow! He'd had some serious health challenges across the years, but thets still unexpected.

R.I.P. feller.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Say what you like about the bloke, but the timing of his departure was perfect. He'll not be driving home for Christmas for the first time in years.

He did so many other songs and as much as he probably did very well on royalties for the one song I wonder if he ever wished he was known as well for other stuff he'd written.

Will think of him whenever I next get to climb ~6.9 miles ~1210 feet Road To Hell out of Denbigh to Llyn Brenig, some great songs in his collection.

Think he was a, criminally, underrated slide player.
The solo on 'Looking For a Rainbow" case-in-point

Very sad news.

I was unaware of ALL those health complications he has suffered - given that, it's a hell of a job he has done to make it to such a relatively good age.

He was a proper petrol head too.

As far as I remember first album where I heard Chris Rea was a Willie and the Poor Boys where I sing Baby Please Don't Go, I bought that cd long time ago, soon after that I bought Dancing With Strangers. Lot of good stuff Chris Rea did.

R.I.P. feller.

Pancreatic cancer and the heart problems brought on by Stainsby girls.

Sad news, he was a local lad to me.

I blame you lot for all your dodgy lies on here - the poor guy died of stress.
