I can't find confirmation of this rumour elsewhere on the net. Is it a fake story made up for YouTube or has anyone heard something else? Chris de Burgh story.

Joe, please remove this thread! The story is a two year old fake! I wonder why the bloody thing is still up on YouTube!
    I changed the thread title to show the rumor was untrue, but I'm reluctant to remove a thread once there's been discussion.

Far more dislikes than likes. And the supposed BBC story looks faked, a composite of pre-existing footage with added dialogue.

He's only a name to me anyway - I couldn't name or identify any song he's done - so I'm not exactly bothered whether it's true or not.

He seems to be scheduled for a UK tour in 2013.

Yes, a remarkable comeback for someone who supposedly died in 2009!

He did some benefit work for the Kurds way back in the early 1990s before most people ever heard of the Kurds. The stupid fuck who posted the Youtube 'comedy' deserves to have his nuts driven by a knee into his groin.

Saw an interview with him on the BBC recently, he was suffering from an overdose of black hair dye.
