here is one newspaper article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/09/chris-rea-collapses-in-a-clump-on-stage-at-oxford-theatre really shame, but the thing is, his touring days might just come to the end. no chance he can tour that massive anymore, perhaps not at all anymore. hopeful...
there is a new interview online: http://www.heraldscotland.com/arts_ents/15660114.Chris_Rea____39_I_hate_hotels_rooms__They_remind_me_of_hospitals_and_I___ve_had_enough_of_them__39_/ find it a bit bothering that in the end he talks about On The Beach like it's a new thing to play it as a reggae as i...
it could be worse if he played only one new song and then the same old setlist. wish he had changed some of the old songs for example to Windy Town or Curse of the traveller (which would fit to theme of road songs) The songs from RFL I like the least - and the well known songs since many years :( My...

ok, setlist must have some of the old songs, but I guess those contracts don't say setlist must be the same in each gig of the tour? man with hundreds songs and he can only play the exact 20 songs or so, it is really like saying to rally driver you can only use one gear and not the others? really fo...
same goes on all of album, not just "Beautiful". Funny, time to time it feels like Chris is starting to sing "You Are So Beautiful To Me" by Joe Cocker. Oh yes, that makes things clearer. Great cover on BBC, I too wish that Chris would do an entire album like this. Thanks a lot f...
