Wow you're right, all this time Bob was given a hard time unfairly. "Just a lump of meat and feathers!"
The difference between Sting and Chris Rea is, Chris Rea has talent 🤫
Respect to Chris rea, that guy has been through the mill health wise, I think he has a great attitude that’s what keeps him going.
Can you just imagine sitting in on a couple of pints with those 3 guys ? Priceless ! 😆👍🍻

Going strong at 71 even with his somewhat 😳 health issues. Still has his sharp wit,excellent song writer. Petrolhead too. Keep 🤘🏼 Chris

Wow! The humble genius that is Chris Rea. Marvellous 👌
I saw him in Wembley arena in 2008 or 2009, it was one of the best concerts I’ve been to.
If you're from Middlesbrough, you should be proud as punch to have this man as a son ❤️

My favourite Chris Rea song. I too have kidney disease, end stage renal failure. Dialysis 3 days a week keeps me out of that cold box. I have loved your music and guitar mastery since I first saw you at the NEC, in 1985 supporting Clapton. My life changed forever at that gig.
Absolutely wonderful real life real people
Great advert for the NHS 😂
Chris Rhea always!
Love Chris and his music a great Blues man!!
What a lovely chat. Shame it wasn't 10x longer. Really enjoyable xx
Surely a snowy grey syrup would be the way forward
Chris Rea is one of does great singers that get passed by i remember fool if you think its over when i was young,and never bothered to find out who sang it but i loved the song also some of his other songs i now know the man behind the voice i love coming home for Christmas i am 67 now and its the first time i ever heard it love the mans voice hope he becomes popular again now. he deserves more credit than he got .
Очень люблю Криса, восхищаюсь голосом, музыкой которую он пишет и просто потрясающим человеком! Побольше бы таких людей и мир стал бы лучше!
Chris Rea's Driving Home For Christmas has been my favourite Christmas song for years. We always used to play that at the end of our last market (selling cheeses) before Christmas with both my sons. So it brings me great joy and always brings a few tears as well. You can never hear enough Chris Rea. He is the best.

indeed, so underrated. Texas is one of my favourite tracks of all time. It totally sums up that feeling of being stuck in the rat race and wanting to escape to wide open country somewhere.
I'd love for there to be an episode of Gone Fishing with Paul & Bob, with Fergal Sharkey and Chris Rea.
Easily the best bloke alive in the music 🎵 industry- tons of respect ✊ for his humility and honesty - hero I think!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤
*God bless Chris Rea. Merry Christmas*
Are you driving home 🤣👏🏻
What a legend!
The legend ! Loved that raspy sound.
How is Chris Rea still here . Sad but happy
As a Brit living in Austria. Saw Chris at a concert in Vienna.... We just managed to get tickets for his show..... It was packed out.
Despite all the health issues, Chris Rea’s hair is unchallenged. What a mane.

I think Chris is a great guy, but that's a dreadful syrup!
Merry christmas and best wishes from Germany. Thank you for sending this video with Chris. I have not heard anything about him for a long time. He was so popular here and as a real fan (since 1978 with fool if you think it's over) I am glad to see him smile. He has to struggle a lot. May he be in acceptable shape.
bob should have his own chat show he is such an amazing interviewer
A wonderful clip. One of the reasons I admire Chris Rea is because he is nothing like sting.... I've been a fan for many years, his albums are never far from my turntable. Also a fan of his race driving and cars. Thanks for the wonderful music which has forged so many happy and great memories in mine and many other peoples lives. Keep fighting on Sir.
best Christmas song ever followed very very closely by George
Chris stay well. Your an icon and your music will live on. Brilliant man 🤗
Legend and under-rated.
Met Chris in a pub in Boro quite a few years ago..what a straight up down to earth guy..bought him a pint had a really good fella.. Top bloke..great guitarist..

Oh wow this is amazing, I love Chris Rae.
Genuine people.
Kindness and a chat. Best ever in the cold. :)
That's made my day. seeing Chris - a local hero of mine chatting to Bob a new hero. Talking about life and stuff. I could watch them chat on all day. Maybe Chris could pick up the guitar and blast out some of his great music. Oh and Paul is a great guy too, for a southerner lol. Stay strong and healthy guys.

Looking a lot better
I remember back in Stillington, County Durham in the early-mid 70s (where I grew up), Chris used to practice in our village hall.
Legend
Would love to see a longer interview with Bob and Chris
Keep on rocking Chris, your spirit and heart make up for the other bits failing. xx
Love this tune here in the States.
Tops all three legends!
Seeing these two in the flesh and imaging Chris running a hot bath for Bob and cracking an egg into it is absolutely hilarious 😂
Paul been waiting his whole life to ask Chris if he’s driving home 😂
Miracle 🙏🙏🙏
I’m so chuffed this came up on my utube suggestions. Chris with you two lads, what a great couple of minutes I’ve spent. Merry Christmas to you. X
Chris Rea always seemed like an Alpha Male rock/pop star when I saw him on TV in the 90’s and after all he has been through he seems like more of a hero now.
I saw Chris on his last tour at the Manchester Apollo,he was fantastic,he fell ill at a later gig and it was cancelled,bless him glad he is still around his music has got everything!
I’m in good company with Chris then! Gall bladder still in place, part of my pancreas gone, bile duct reconstructed, duodenum gone, partial gastrectomy, right hand of liver gone. Kidney function still good though🤪
Lovely interview that.
Boro lass here love you lads and Paul 😅
Three fabulous people .Period
Hope your all driving home for Christmas. Have a great time . looking forward to your next vidio. Thank you....
Got about 6 cd's of Chris. He is a fantastic musician. Hope he keeps well.
I knew Chris from Kirklevington Country Club days! Nice guy! Also remember John Mc Coy. Happy days for sure! Had no money so to speak but enjoyed the times!
