RIP Chris Rea 🤍
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Chris Rea, one of Britain’s most distinctive and enduring songwriters.
Across more than four decades, Chris created a timeless body of work defined by honesty, restraint and humanity – from landmark albums such as The Road to Hell and Auberge to the modern classic "Driving Home for Christmas". His music continues to comfort, inspire, and connect listeners across generations.
In 2022, BMG was proud to become custodian of Chris Rea’s music, helping to curate a catalogue that remains as powerful and relevant today as ever.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and everyone whose lives have been touched by his music.
