The usual thing has happened but even sooner than normal this tour, Francis's throat has given out, no doubt due to all the extra singing and Paris is postponed to early next year.
Francis Rossi added, "We hate to have to reschedule shows and hope that the fans realise that this situation is outside our control".
It doesn't bode well for the British leg.

A real shame, a lot of us queuing early in the cold only to be told of the cancellation at 5.45pm. Hopefully Francis can take it easy for a few days and be back in good form on Thursday in Nottingham.

Disgraceful - surely Rhino could have taken over lead vocals for the night? 😂😂😂

Classic Francis... Rick, Alan and John can fuck off but, I'm way too important for it to go ahead without me |

Surely Chubbs could get up on stage and play the spoons (or as we call them, ladles)?

As so many of you think of it as Francis Rossi Quo, it's not a surprise it's postponed.

When I saw him filling in over the summer he barely got within three feet of the mic, either that or looking constantly pompous and supercilious took too much energy for him to sing as well. Richie on the other hand really can sing but has probably been vetoed by a certain person. |

I don't suppose there's much he can do with a throat infection, but it might have been an opportunity to give Rhino more than Bad News to sing. Hope the rest does him good.

Another good idea from a fan...get richie to sing..why not. Richie stands in for rossi and Freddie in for rick ( or richie as it will be)...no need to cancel. |

I'm sure Rossi will make sure they replace him soon... since it's all about the money now, and as long as he gives it his ''blessing'' the ''Current'' CQ fans will be Joyful.. Rock on Cover Quo..

As so many of you think of it as Francis Rossi Quo, it's not a surprise it's postponed. Well.... Considering he done everything possible to get John and Alan out, several times... Considering he was all but happy to tell Rick to fuck off.... Considering he said "Quo" could even go on without him, why is there no replacement? There are people, going to these shows, who don't give a fuck about Rick, never mind Alan or John..What difference does it make? And yes, I know your stand point and I'm not having a go at you and don't mean to be offensive or come across like that etc but, it's ridiculous |

If he has an infection, then he will need to rest both his voice and his body. Or the whole tour could be in danger of being cancelled. The only way he could have been replaced in this circumstance, with the call being made at 5.45pm before the gig, would to have had an understudy on standby at the start of the tour. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to both the stand-in and the audience with readiness to play or rehearsal. But I suspect you didn't want a sensible answer.  |
