We’ve lost so many great people in our lifetimes, family and friends, sports and tv personalities, movie stars, and then music legends, so very many, some far too young like Freddie and George. For some time I was relieved that we’d lost nobody from my top ten bands and artists. All of Ultravox and John Foxx, Stevie, Robin, were all still with us. Depeche Mode. The Blue Nile. talk talk. Kraftwerk. OMD. Numan. Sylvian and Japan. The Cure…..then one by one, bad news. Mark Hollis. Florian Schneider. Almost lost Malcolm from OMD but thankfully saved but had to retire. Mick Karn. Andrew Fletcher. But then, the unthinkable happened, already deeply saddened by the aforementioned losses, and many many more of course, I was devastated by the loss of Chris Allen aka Cross. He was like a favourite uncle. All Ultravox fans and many more family and friends shocked. Knowing Chris’ personality, I just know he would want us to pick ourselves up and crack on, and we will do. For him. But such a very sad loss. 😢
I did not know he died. I've played a similar Ibanez bass for two decades now. Mine does not have the original finish either. I think. We know his does not with that grey finish.
