    A sad loss, indeed. He was an excellent singer/songwriter and a very good performer live. "The Road to Hell" will remain a timeless classic. Let's hope that wasn't the way he was pointing when he got the final call to leave us.

    RIP Chris.

    Poor bloke's been in poor health for years. He had Pancreatic cancer in 2001 and had his pancreas removed. Surviving that long is very rare, my mate had it and lasted under 2 years from diagnosis. Still a shame though. RIP Chris
