When the news broke that large parts of the South East would be in a kind of lockdown for Christmas, while the rest of the UK was having its five-day festivities reduced to one, the thoughts of Twitter turned selflessly to Chris Rea.
The singer, whose hit song ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ dominates the airwaves every December, had no comment to make, but these reactions did it for him.

It’s not all bad news for Chris, however.
Despite having had ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ banned, Chris Rea is still expected to be No 1 at Christmas with 2020 version of ‘Road to Hell.’
