Is Chris de Burgh a miracle worker? the Mail on Sunday...apprently he cured a man suffering from a swollen ankle by simply touching the affected area. 'look, he walks' shouted the excited Chris. To bloody right mate, a paraplegic would use their mouth and eyelids to drag themselves away from the risk of hearing 'lady in red'. Reading the article, and theres much to laugh at (or despair) but one of the best lines is:This is not the first time that de Burgh has professed to having special healing powers.

'In 1993 he revealed that he had warned his wife, Diane, not to move her spine if she should break her neck in a riding accident.' Wells thats just genius.

and.....

' And five years ago he apparently helped cure former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel of Guillain-BarrÈ syndrome, a rare form of neuritis which paralyses parts of the body.
The singer visited him in hospital where he lit a crystal lamp and passed his hands over the player's legs.'

Lit a crystal lamp? What did he use, a fucking blow torch. No wonder Markus claim immediate success and fled the room.

Given the growth of these healing powers are probably in inverse correlation to record sales I expect James Blunt to be merrily working the crowds at Lourdes sometime soon.
