Ultravox star Chris Cross dies aged 71

“That is the ultimate gift for a musician, one which lasts for the rest of your life.”

The hitmaker first came to prominence with seventies teen band Silk before being snapped up by ex-Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock for his new outfit, The Rich Kids.

By 1979, after a brief spell replacing Gary Moore in Thin Lizzy, Midge became the new frontman in Ultravox, replacing John Foxx, during which time he fronted classics like Reap the Wild Wind, Dancing With Tears in My Eyes, The Voice and Vienna, and penned Fade To Grey for Visage. 

He later launched his solo career in 1982, co-wrote and produced the Band Aid classic Do They Know It’s Christmas? with Bob Geldof in 1984 and played at Live Aid the following year. 

Throughout his career, he’s won multiple Ivor Novello, Grammy and ASCAP awards along with a slew of gold and platinum records.

Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall show go on general sale Friday, June 16 at 9 am BST.
