With his gravelly voice and smooth slide guitar, Chris Rea (4th March 1951), hailing from Middlesbrough, UK, became one of the biggest stars of the 1980s.

Inspired by the music of Joe Walsh and Ry Cooder, Chris Rea picked up the guitar quite late, at the age of 22. Yet it was as a solo artist that Rea achieved success, signing to Magnet Records, releasing his first single, "So Much Love" in 1974.

Following collaborations with Hank Marvin and Catherine Howe, Rea's debut album was then released in 1978, titled "Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?" The album showcased his biggest hit to date in the US, "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" which rocketed to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, also receiving a Grammy Award nomination for this song.

Despite this breakthrough, Rea failed to continue this momentum with his second, third and fourth albums, having to wait until 1983, when his record company ambivalently released a selection of raw demo tapes, titled "Water Sign," which became a surprise hit in Ireland and Mainland Europe, with the single "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" entering the top 20 in several countries. Rea built on this success with "On The Beach" (1986) and "Dancing With Strangers" (1987), embarking on world tours, selling out stadium-sized venues, including two performances at Wembley Arena.

His 1989 album, "The Road to Hell" was his biggest breakthrough hit, becoming his first number one album in the UK. "Auberge" (1991) also topped the UK charts. Following this, Rea continued to release albums, whilst also overcoming pancreatic cancer over the early 2000s. After a successful recovery, Rea has continued touring, alongside sporadic recordings.

Live reviews

Certainly one of the smoothest men ever to emerge from Middlesbrough, Chris Rea is probably one of the few sons of that town to experience not only pop success, but pop success on both sides of the Atlantic, too. In 1978, his track ‘Fool (If You Think It’s Over)’ went to number twelve on the U.S. charts, but whilst he wouldn’t replicate that achievement in the UK immediately, the eighties would see him become a household name in his homeland, with his iconic 1989 full-length The Road to Hell eventually going six times platinum on this side of the pond - the fourth in a run of five LPs that would reach that status and mark Rea out as a legend of AOR. Since recovering from pancreatic cancer in 2001, he’s gone back to his blues roots full-time, turning out a slew of albums from that genre and playing shows that lean that way, too. His last major UK jaunt, in March of 2012, saw him play a greatest hits selection from the eighties as well as a fair few blues tracks; his full live backing band proved equally adept at helping him out with both - like Rea himself, they’re incredibly versatile performers, something that he continues to prove to this day as he continues his blues odyssey.

Sadly you should know Chris collapsed in Oxford the night before and the rest of the tour This one in Brighton & Bournemouth were cancelled. Glad he seems OK and hope he fully recovers, and does not try to continue and put his health at risk

Very good show.

Good organisation, started in time and the music was charming.

No enough car parking spaces and I would recommend using the tube if you have an event in Hammersmith.

‘The Road To Hell Part 2’: How Chris Rea Added Fuel To The Fire

Hitting the road yet again, Chris Rea’s sequel album, ‘The Road To Hell Part 2’, went off the beaten track to fuse guitar with dance rhythms.

Ten years after The Road To Hell became his biggest success, Chris Rea ’s bold and refreshingly experimental sequel, The Road To Hell Part 2 , traversed a completely different musical terrain.

By the late 90s, the popularity of dance music seemed to be leaving soft-rock musicians such as Rea standing in the cold, outside the nightclub doors. “Everyone’s using the same bloody computer now, which is a big shame for a lot of players,” the singer-songwriter himself noted. However, one of the best Chris Rea songs , On The Beach, had been sampled by Dutch DJs York to become an Ibiza hit in the summer of 1999, suggesting that Rea had a better chance than many of connecting with an audience drawn to electronic music. Aiming to combine his predilection for blues-based slide guitar and live musicianship with computer-generated beats, Rea fashioned his 15th album, The Road To Hell Part 2 , with a mechanic’s precision.

Listen to ‘The Road To Hell Part 2’ here .

“I just went off left field with completely different ideas”

The first tantalising hint at Rea’s new direction came with The Road To Hell Part 2 ’s lead single, New Times Square, which bubbled with gentle, trance-like synths before engulfing listeners with a tsunami of thumping EDM beats. Released in October 1999, it surprised audiences by melding Rea’s throaty drawl with a euphoric club vibe.

Following on 15 November, The Road To Hell Part 2 revealed that Rea had more tricks up his sleeve: mixing bluesy riffs with clubby beats, the album picked up the traffic-related themes of its predecessor with the eight-minute opener Can’t Get Through. With its blaring sax and driving beat, this was a totally new musical highway for Rea. “I just went off left field with completely different ideas,” he admitted, telling interviewers how rock musicians needed to embrace new things. “Guys like Eric Clapton shouldn’t be saying music is dead.”

“I was genuinely inspired at how the man had changed in the traffic jam”

Having vaulted to prominence after writing a song about being stuck on the M25 motorway that circles London, Rea relished revisiting the concepts he explored on the original Road To Hell album, again mining his own family life for ideas. “I was genuinely inspired at how the man had changed in the traffic jam,” he said. Explaining that the first instalment was about being a father to young kids, he revealed, “This one is how those little kids are now teenagers, and he’s having to deal with teenage problems.”

Rea’s daughters, Josie (then 16) and Julia (11), had inspired him to tackle songs that shared his waspish views on modern parenthood. The rap-indebted Evil No.2 explores the inner mind of an errant teen, name-checking Eminem and blaming wayward, drug-taking behaviour on the lax morals of paper-chasing mums and dads (“I got a satellite dish, I’m all alone/With my little goldfish/And Eminem”). “It’s been something that I’ve been concerned about for some time,” Rea told the Daily Mirror . “While they’re off achieving, the child is in the bedroom having its mind completely screwed up. I don’t think that’s progress. Do you?”

“It’s about listening to three girls have a conversation about ecstasy”

At the time The Road To Hell Part 2 was released, the controversy around teenagers taking ecstasy was dominating news headlines, particularly after the death of 18-year-old Leah Betts in 1995. Rea’s song E tackles this subject head-on (“‘Tell me what’s so wrong with E’/That’s what I hear them say”). “E is a song about listening to three girls have a conversation about ecstasy,” Rea said. “They wanted to know the risks. It was my duty to tell them – to be honest with them.” By tackling a controversial issue in such a measured way, Rea implores parents to “talk about it” openly.

Just like before, Rea presents these very personal topics under the guise of a road trip, making The Road To Hell Part 2 a soft-rock ambulation aided by its dance-inspired production. The car radio becomes central to this journey, surfacing once again on I’m In My Car (“I don’t want to change a thing/This is my world you are sitting in”). “The other instance with The Road To Hell Part 2 is how happy men have got in cars,” Rea said, recalling how a friend of his would plan his drive home around his favourite radio show. “We are actually starting to enjoy this private space at the beginning and the end of each day.”

“When you open up to it, it’s just another way of making music”

Though it wouldn’t be right to call The Road To Hell Part 2 a fully-fledged dance record, it successfully hangs atmospheric synths and propulsive drum machine around Rea’s bluesy arrangements. A notable highlight is Last Open Road, which is built upon Rea’s experiments with guitar loops and sampling. “I took some blasting guitars, put them in a sequencer, and I had a lot of fun doing it,” Rea said.

Musically adventurous yet in keeping with Rea’s fondness for slide guitar, The Road To Hell Part 2 deserves credit for keeping pace with the popularity of dance music. “When you open up to it,” Rea said of his new approach, “it’s just another way of making music.” By finding a way to bridge the two worlds while bringing to life his pre-established themes of world-weary misdirection and parental anxiety, The Road To Hell Part 2 took fans on a detour unlike any Rea had led them on before.

Chris Rea is one of the world's most respected and prolific blues rock musicians of all time.

The singer and guitarist makes a chart comeback every December thanks to his festive hit 'Driving Home for Christmas', but what are his other best known songs and is he married?

Here's all the important facts about the talented star:

What are Chris Rea's most famous songs?

Chris Rea - On the Beach (Official Music Video)

Chris Rea scored an early top 40 hit in 1978 with 'Fool (If You Think It's Over)', a song Elkie Brooks had a bigger success with three years later.

It wasn't until the late 1980s and early 1990s that Chris finally achieved true chart success with Dancing with Strangers and The Road to Hell albums.

His best known hit is probably 'Driving Home for Christmas', which didn't even reach the top 40 the first time around in 1988. However, it has reached the top 40 every year since 2007, peaking at 11 in 2018.

His other famous songs include:

- On the Beach

- Josephine

- Let's Dance

- Tell Me There's a Heaven

- The Road to Hell (part 2)

Chris Rea age: How old is he and where is he from?

Chris Rea was born on March 4, 1951, and celebrated his 69th birthday in 2020.

He was born in Middlesbrough in Yorkshire, to an Italian father, Camillo Rea (died 2010) and an Irish mother, Winifred Snee (died 1983).

He was one of seven children, and his family were of the Roman Catholic faith.

What health issues has Chris Rea had?

In 2000, Chris Rea was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and underwent surgery which resulted in the removal of part of his pancreas and gall bladder.

Since having this surgery, Chris has had issues with diabetes and a weaker immune system, requiring over 30 pills and seven injections a day. He has had several operations since then.

Despite the setback, he stayed positive, saying: "It's not until you become seriously ill and you nearly die and you're at home for six months, that you suddenly stop, to realize that this isn't the way I intended it to be in the beginning.

"Everything that you've done falls away and you start wondering why you went through all that rock business stuff."

Chris Rea had a stroke in 2016, which left him with slurred speech and limited movement in his arms and fingers.

He soon quit smoking to halt further strokes, and thankfully was well enough to record more music and tour.

In September 2017, he released his 24th album, Road Songs for Lovers , and went on tour across Europe.

However, in December, Chris collapsed during a performance at the New Theatre Oxford. He was taken to hospital where his condition improved.

Who is Chris Rea's wife and does he have children?

Chris Rea is married to Joan Lesley.

They have been a couple since they met as teenagers in 1968 in Middlesbrough.

They have two daughters, Josephine (born 1983), and Julia Christina (born 1989).

Josephine lectures on Renaissance art in Florence, and Julia studied at the University of St Andrews.
