About

Christopher Thomas Allen (14 July 1952 – 25 March 2024), known professionally as Chris Cross, 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 April 1974, before the band was renamed Ultravox! over two years later. The band's most successful single, "Vienna", was released in 1981.

Cross left Ultravox in 1989, several years after the band's studio album U-Vox was released 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.
