  1. It is very sad indeed to hear Colin has passed. We will forever have the music legacy he has left us all but I appreciate this is no consolation to his friends and family at this very difficult moment in time. R.I. P.

  2. The news of Colin’s accident hit me hard. His music had a big influence on my own songwriting in my formative years. I will be revisiting the catalogue of this great musician, hoping that he will pull through and experience the outpouring of love for him that we have been reading and sharing all week.

  3. After hearing Wonderful Life all those years ago I tentatively bought the album. Great decision! Such a positive album (Title Track and Everything is coming up Roses etc). Still sounds great today. Wish you a full recovery Colin and thank you for the great music.

  4. Very sad news. 2016 is turning out to be quite a brutal year and we’re only 21 days in. I don’t know if I can handle another 300-odd days of this.

  5. Sad to hear that Colin was involved in a car accident. Wonderful Life was a great pop-classic. Great song! Hope that Colin will pull through this
    tragedy. Best Wishes to Colin!

  6. Yes those are truly bad news for music fans as me so from here wish that all goes well at the end…

    …and also my most sincere condolences to all Eagles fans all over the World due the pass out of Glenn Frey 2 nites ago. Looks like 2016 didn’t start very nice for some.

  7. I heard about Colin`s accident last week, as Sean says it`s been a sad few weeks.

    Pull through Colin and have “A Wonderful Life” your music has been part of the tapestry of my life, LOL.

  8. This is terrible news!

    I’ll be praying for him and his family.

    We seem to be losing too many people this year who have provided us with the soundtrack to our lives. If it wasn’t for such people, life would be so bleak!

    :-(

  9. Prayers for him and those who know him.
    His single Wonderful Life is a solid gold classic, even after nearly 30 years I never ever tire of hearing that song.
    Paul, can you please update us on Colin’s progress or on any news you might have.

  10. Yes very sad news but not happened a few days ago…his fatal crash happened 10 days ago !!! On Sunday 10th January…I knew about this at least 7 days ago from a friend who read it in a newspaper article…Let’s all pray for Colin we need a miracle for him to pull through…further scans are expected on his brain this friday, so let’s hope he does make it through to see his first grandchild due to be born on st.patricks day.
