It is with a heavy heart that I have heard that former Sisters guitarist Chris Sheehan aka Chris Starling passed away earlier this evening

Oh ... ... thank you very much for the info, endemoniada75 ...

Hopefully he had found some pleasure and joy and relieve within his music over the last months ...

RIP, Chris Sheehan ... ... really saddening to hear that ... ...
*and my condolences to his family, of course.

really very, very sad news. a terrible loss to music in general and us personally. i'll bet nearly everyone on HL had seen him play for the sisters at least once. of course massive condolences and love to his friends and family.

R.I.P. Chris.

I was sad to hear this morning of the death of former Dance Exponents and Starlings guitarist Chris Sheehan, who had been living with cancer for several years. I used to see quite a lot of Chris back in the day and he was a lovely man – and, of course, quite a guitar player.

My condolences to his beloved!

Very sad news. A very talented man. Loved his work with Starlings before he joined TSOM. R.I.P. Chris.

ive got a grip now (i think), but in the two hours since i heard this i have cried uncontrollably on and off, listened to a fabulos gig from the smoke and mirrors tour at magdeburg, learnt he was only5 years older than me, and thought "there but for [s]the grace of god[/s] chaos..." several hundred times.

i felt like this when Ofra Haza died, and i realized:whenever someone who has been a part of The Sisters Of Mercy dies, a part of me will die forever.

R.I.P. Chris
My condolences to the family

Sad news indeed
Rip Mr Seehan.

I've only seen them once when he was on board and I didn't think it was a good gig, but that doesn't make this any less sad.
Gonna give the old Starlings 12" another spin in a minute...

It's really terrible news.

Yeah that's exactly how I feel.

I'm gutted. It wasn't totally unexpected given his recent health, but that makes it no easier.

I never saw the band with him because his tenure occurred during my Sisters wilderness years, but he was just such an important part of it.

Really awful news.

Rock In Peace Chris.

Stickified.

RIP, you will be sorely missed.

I saw him 3 times on stage.I always think that he was (with adam) the best combo (perhaps because the 3 gigs were fantastic as well).I'm really sad.Today, I decide to wear my "Sex God Rock Star",the best sisters-related t-shirt ever...

Very sad to hear about Chris. RIP.

R.I.P Chris Starling ....

Fly like an Eagle.
Condolences to his family and friends.
Thanks for music!

(Sorry Hom, I didn't see this sticky-thread

I'll be the one to say it.

Would have been lovely to put on an official vinyl release of the Sisters with Adam and Chris today.

Smoke and Mirrors at the Forum rocked my socks off and was pivotal in me & Mrs Hellboy being together.

We still are, and shall never ever forget Mr Chris

R.I.P. Chris

RIP Chris.
I enjoyed watching and listening to you play.

That's some sad news

Very sad news. A talented musician, it was fascinating what he added to some old Sisters songs... Never Land... Smoke And Mirrors tour...

RIP
