It was sad to hear about the death of Chris Rea at the age of 74 although given the list of ailments he had its a miracle he lasted this long.
As you can imagine there were a few bad taste "jokes" on the Internet around Driving Home for Christmas. I would imagine Chris would have found them quite funny.
I'm posting the two you would all expect and my particular favourite Stainsby Girls.
I was also put in mind of a sketch by fellow Smoggie Bob Mortimer from Would I Lie To You.
Rest easy Chris.

See you on the other side.
Happy Christmas CC, have a good one.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY CHRISTMAS MR AND MRS CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSad news about Chris but as you say, a bit of a miracle he made it this far. Left some great music.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Mrs CC - hope you have a good one.
Sad news but yes he certainly had a rough time of it health-wise. I had to look up the word 'Smoggie' too - now I know something I didn't know yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHere's wishing you and Mrs CC a Merry Christmas and all the best x
