Chesney Hawkes and his wife said goodbye to their children in tearful voicemail messages as they prepared to perish in a plane crash.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Chesney Hawkes thought he was going to die in a plane crash over the summer<\/p>\n

The singer and his partner Kristina were travelling from Greece to the Spanish city of Barcelona over the summer when they were caught up in a terrifying a mid-air emergency when the cabin pressure system suffered a “”catastrophic failure” – leaving left the couple convinced they were about to die.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old singer told The Sunday Times newspaper: “I thought I was going to die on a flight from Greece to Barcelona. We were on an Aegean Airlines Airbus A320 and Krissy had fallen asleep on my shoulder when the oxygen masks dropped without warning. <\/p>\n

“We then heard: ‘Put your mask on, put your mask on! Emergency!’ and could see the cabin crew running down the aisle screaming.<\/p>\n

“There was no information from the flight deck. I looked out the window and it seemed the plane was nose-diving 20,000ft into the Aegean Sea. It was terrifying.”<\/p>\n

\nHawkes insists the couple felt calm but they wept as they rang their kids to say goodbye. He added: “I looked at my wife and a kind of peace came over us; we were crying as we left voicemails for the kids telling them how much we loved them.”<\/p>\n

\nThey eventually found out the plane’s cabin pressure system had suffered a “catastrophic failure” but they made it to their destination “in one piece”.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, ‘The One and Only’ star insists the experience was worthwhile because it left him feeling lucky to be alive. <\/p>\n

\nHe concluded: “In a weird way I wouldn\u2019t take the experience back. It was a chance for me to see that if I did die I was in a good place and how lucky I\u2019ve been. I wouldn\u2019t do anything differently.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
