I prewrote a post for today. I prewrote it at about lunchtime on Monday 22nd.
I… er… I won’t be continuing with that post now, because about an hour after I hit the SCHEDULE button, this sad news broke.
British singer Chris Rea, known for hits including the Yuletide classic ‘Driving Home For Christmas’, has died after a short illness… three days before Christmas.
British rock and blues singer-songwriter Chris Rea, known for songs including perennial Yuletide favourite ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ and the hit ‘The Road To Hell’, has died at the age of 74.
I thought that the spoof news article I’d linked to originally was actually rather funny. Having seen Chris Rea on a TV programmes and doing a few interviews, I think he’d have liked it too.
But wow. I’ve always said that I might miss something important or put my foot in it when scheduling posts while I’m away.
This was nearly a huge faux pas.
Good job I managed to spot it before it had got too far.
