Who was the subject of Chris de Burgh's song 'Lady in Red'? It could have been his wife Diane de Burgh or maybe someone else. Does anyone know?

[JoolsTwo]

The song was written in reference to (though not specifically about) his wife Diane De Burgh and was released on the album Into The Light, peaking on the Billboard charts at #3 in May of 1987.

Found thison Wikipedia.

Thanks, I saw this on Wiki but the question asks for' the subject' and I'm not sure that his wife fits the bill.

Just found this ...

Chris de Burgh: "By the way, I've never confirmed this song to be written for Diane, ... The song describes just a normal relationship. After some time, you begin to lose care for each other, lives driving apart. That's the way it is, but doesn't reflect my personal life or my marriage at all."
