Sorry to see that Chris is definitely driving home for Christmas, now.
One of those performers who you were always happy were knocking around. Was listening to Auberge lately - in advance of its appearance on Now Yearbook '91 Extra - and thought it as good now as I did then, if underrated.

I got a Caterham the same year Auberge came out, so bought the album for obvious reasons. I had never even heard of Chris then.
Since then i have grown to like his music and him as a person.
Mates who've met him in the paddock say he was a gem and a true petrolhead and good racer.
Gutted to hear this. End of an era.

I always wondered why he drove home for Christmas. There's no christmas in Middlesbrough.Driving Home for Christmas singer Chris Rea dies aged 74

Always struck a chord, a bit of blues out of Benny Santini.

He was brilliant in the wire.
Ziggy will go down as one of the shows greatest characters.
Always wondered what happened to him as an actor and got a massive kick when I saw him in the black phone.
Incredibly sad news.
Mean guitarist too, Nothing to Fear is sublime.
Seen him live a couple of times, weird crowd, but great musician:
