i bet you

I believe Francis has something else booked!!

i expect they will tour next winter due to "popular" demand

If Lancaster and Coghlan were up and able for it I'd be there like a rocket. 

For me Rossi, Lancaster, Coghlan, Bown and your pick of rhythm guitarist, I'll go with Status Quotes Toon Eppink at the mo, could still be a great and viable gig for Quo. 

I know Rossi has made his feelings clear, but something like above is my selfish Quo preference if we had a choice. 

I'm not over Rick, he was Rick Parfitt - Status Quo, that will never change, Christmas was horrible last year, was like losing a fave uncle to me, but time is a healer and if Quo is to continue I'd rather it continue as above. In my view they would sell like the second reunion tour did, almost and maybe sometimes selling out places like Hammsmith and Wolves Civic etc with the right promotion and current Quo line up put to bed and out of the way. 

3 classic Quo members + Bown or Rossi Quo??? It's a no brainer for me. 

This.
