Chris Allen (Chris Cross) 1952–2024
I am devastated to announce that Chris Allen (aka Chris Cross of Ultravox) passed away on 25th March 2024, aged just 71. His remembrance service was held on 24th April.
Chris was a sweet, kind and funny man who continually exuded a sense of peace and calm. He would welcome you into his home with a cup of tea, a big smile and bigger bear hug, and happily chat for hours about life, the universe and everything (oh and a bit of Ultravox).
You're never quite prepared for the loss of a childhood hero, and this hurts. Rest in peace, my friend – you are missed, so much. Thank you for the music. Thank you more for your friendship. My love and condolences to your friends and family. xx
