The Ultravox bass player and songwriter Chris Cross has passed away aged 71. He was a founder member of the group which started out known as Tiger Lily back in April 1974 with lead singer John Foxx and guitarist Stevie Shears.
That band became the first incarnation of Ultravox! (with an exclamation mark) in 1976 with Foxx and Cross (then known as Chris Allen and also Chris St. John) joined by Warren Cann on drums, Billie Currie on keyboards and Robin Simon later replacing Shears as the band’s guitarist.
