Who is Dave Edmunds wife? What we know about Legendary guitarist’s family amid health struggles

Legendary Welsh singer-songwriter and guitarist, David Williams Edmunds, commonly known as Dave Edmunds, is battling for his life in hospital, according to Wales Online. The 81-year-old musician and record producer, Edmunds, who once collaborated with rock legends like Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and others, is severely ill following a cardiac arrest, as per his wife Karin Cecilia, and is currently fighting for his life in intensive care. However, the Express reported that the Rockpile frontman passed away before he could be resuscitated.

Dave Edmunds married Karin Cecilia, also known as Cici, in 1983. They came across one another in Los Angeles. As per the Express, Edmunds lived and worked as a musician in LA for two decades. He even bought a house there. Not to mention, he signed a label with Led Zeppelin. While he loved staying in America, it never felt like home to him. He returned to Monmouth, Wales, in the early 2000s and moved there with his wife, Cici, and his two dogs.

According to Keys and Chords, in a 2015 interview with Ray Shasho, Dave Edmunds, while discussing a song that was inspired by one of Mozart's pieces, shared that it was his wife Cici, who made him listen to classical music, particularly Mozart. While he had not much of an idea about Mozart, Edmunds, after watching the movie Amadeus, which was about the great classical musician, learned a few things about Mozart. He was living in LA at the time, and went to watch it with Cici, and while returning home from the theater, his wife stopped at Tower Records to buy him a CD of Best of Mozart.

Dave Edmunds, before tying the knot with Cici, was previously married to Leslie Glover, with whom he shares two sons, James and Paul, who also live in Wales, as per Showbiz 411.
