statusquo.boards.net/thread/12756/francis-drops-on-stageI have posted this a few weeks ago on the Dutch side of this forum and an English fan asked me what happened.... Francis dropped on the stage and while Rick, Alan, Andy and John went on Francis needed some medical attention. A few minutes later he came back on stage. I'm not sure which gig it was....

Germany 1979....one of those gigs...
It was the first (realistic) version of "rock 'till you drop...."

I've edited the thread header to include the date of this incident. Otherwise it is too alarming.

That bang on the head explains a lot. In sport he would be taken off for a HIA. I really do hope he does recover and comes out of his concussive state soon.

oooh!
I must admit I wonder with that pic of them "helping him off" if he was really unconscious, or unconscious for more than a moment.
I take it this wasn't the incident which resulted in him eating a lot of pizza ever after. I think that was more recent, like, say ... some time in the 1980s?

Around this period, Rick also caught Rossi's face with the head of his guitar leaving Rossi with a bloody nose. Robert Ellis captured this gig. A photo from this gig was used on the What You're Proposing single sleeve.  |

Rossi was brought back to consciousness by smelling salts. Unfortunately the salts were mixed up with a vial of the strongest cocaine ever produced and Francis Rossi was stoned until 45 seconds into Railroad at Hammersmith Odeon 15/03/13.Taking in what he saw he concluded he was in a band with the parents of his band members of 1979 and has never recovered.

So he recruited some kids? |
