Updated on 07 November 2009

A British father on a road-trip through the United States was shot dead after stopping in Amarillo because he loved the cult song, relatives revealed.

Tom Reeve, who was gunned down while visiting a bar in the Texan city, was "just in the wrong place, at the wrong time", his mother and step-father said.

The 28-year-old and his two friends were only making a brief stop in Amarillo - made famous in the UK by the Tony Christie chart hit, (Is This The Way To) Amarillo - during a trip from San Francisco to Florida.
