Sorry, I've woken up with a whacking migraine and just needed a quiet space to myself.

Genius.

I actually had a few of his albums back when I was at school, I think when I was about 15 or so. I used to think "The Getaway" in particular was pretty good. (This was before "The Lady In Red" and the much publicised nanny-shagging era.) Got rid of the whole lot when I realised they were crap.

A few years ago I got another copy of The Getaway out of nostalgia and wondering if I had misjudged it...

I hadn't.

I still have 'A Spaceman Came Travelling' on a Christmas compilation, but that's as far as I'd go now.

So there it is… I used to like Chris de Burgh and now you all know.

Joining Alcoholics Anonymous should be easy compared to that.

I think I speak for us all when I say how much I admire the courage it must have taken you to come out.

Hiring a beautiful young au pair just to shag on the side. It's what we all aspire to.

What an inglorious end to such a distinguished career on this - and indeed MR before it - forum.

Still, at least this shocking revelation will take the heat off Sir Cliff for a few days....

My older sister had the album called Spanish Train and Other Stories ... long time ago ... but I think maybe there were one or two decent pop-singer-sonwriter tunes on there ... like ICBM I too remember The Getaway and went to see him at Newcastle City Hall on that tour


we all have a murky past somewhere don't we???

I prefer this version of Lady In Red. (NSFW)

In fairness if you were born with Chris De Burgh's physical traits and then somehow found women throwing themselves at you then who wouldn't be loving it?!
