Christopher Thomas Allen (14 July 1952 – 25 March 2024), known professionally as Chris Cross,[1] was an English musician, best known as the bass guitarist in the new wave band Ultravox. After starting his music career with Stoned Rose, a band in Preston, Lancashire, he was one of the founding members of the band Tiger Lily in 1973, before the band was renamed Ultravox three years later. The band's most successful single, Vienna, was released in 1980.

Cross left Ultravox in 1989, several years after the band's studio album, U-Vox, was published in 1986. He rejoined the band after their revival in 2009 with a tour, and Ultravox released Brilliant, another studio album, three years later. Cross died in 2024 at the age of 71.

Biography

Early years

Christopher Thomas Allen was born in Tottenham, London, England on 14 July 1952.[2] Cross went to Belmont Secondary Modern School and William Forster Comprehensive.[3] He began his music career playing in different bands with his major early influences being Small Faces, Desmond Dekker, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.[3]

Later he joined Stoned Rose, in Preston, Lancashire, but also decided to go to college to study psychology, a longstanding interest.[3]

Tiger Lily and Ultravox

Afterwards, he returned to London to apply at the Royal College of Art.[4] Meanwhile, after answering an advertisement, the band Tiger Lily was created in 1973, with the founding members consisting of Cross (then identified as Chris St. John),[5] singer Dennis Leigh, guitarist Stevie Shears, drummer Warren Cann, and violinist/keyboardist Billy Currie.[3][6] After playing gigs from 1974 to 1976, in the latter year the band renamed themselves Ultravox! and signed to Island Records.[7][8]

In 1979, after three commercially unsuccessful but influential albums – Ultravox! (1977), Ha!-Ha!-Ha! (1977) and Systems of Romance (1978) – original vocalist John Foxx and guitarist Robin Simon, who had replaced Stevie Shears a year before, left Ultravox.[7][9][10]

With Midge Ure added to Ultravox in 1979, the band released their commerically successful Vienna album a year later.[8] By that time, he and Ure were close friends, together directing music videos such as Bananarama's "Shy Boy" and "The Telephone Always Rings" by Fun Boy Three.[11] The band then produced another few successful albums: Rage in Eden (1981), Quartet (1982), Monument (1983) and Lament (1984).[7][12] After U-Vox, a studio album published in 1986, Cross left Ultravox in 1989 and pursued a career as a psychotherapist.[3][7][13] Before Cross's departure, Ure had also left the band to perform as a solo artist before rejoining, but Cross noted the band "fell apart" after Ure rejoined, also stating "it was like everyone lost interest".[3]
