That was my fear too when the 1st three gigs got cancelled. Get well soon Francis. Thinking of you.

Rest of 2017 tour cancelled. Severe respiratory infection. Get well soon old timer. ‘Quite serious’. But suppose at his age. Although being the cynic, as the acoustic tour was far from a sell out and allegedly expensive to put on the road and fully insured. I think you can see my conclusion without me typing it. |

That "stamina" quote really has come back to bite him on the arse.
In all seriousness though, he may be a bit of a cock at times but I hope recovers quickly.

I am no medic...but is this not a bad cold.
I will never have sympathy for Francis Rossi of so called Status Quo. I loved him only as part of Status Quo. As a person, I wish him well. Anything that prevents him wrecking Quo legacy is fair game.
And just before I get criticised, I will reiterate...i wish him well personally, just as I would any human being.

I'm a lot younger than Francis and at the end Aug/beg Sept I had a severe respiratory infection which affected me for 4 weeks. After the first week, I started to feel better and went out for the day. Mistake. I was back in bed for the rest of the week. btw - I took no drugs and let it run its course. As it was virus, I realised there was no point in antibiotics. Not being able to breathe properly would make it impossible to play/sing. My understanding was that Aquostic was popular in Germany. It was the UK where is wasn't going down well. |

Something like this is going round the edge of my family. I haven't had it yet, and it seems to be hitting the ones who have some health problems already. (Which means if I do get it I shall be worried ... ). It stops being a bad cold when it gets onto your chest. I hope he gets well soon, but I don't think he will be singing or jumping around very soon. As yes Paradise that did cross my mind  I don't think he'll mess too much though, as any insurance claim will then sit on their record and double the costs next time (ie any time he personally wants to tour); so I am guessing this is likely to be real. |

Again no medic..but difference between a cold and a chest infection. And a cold does not always go to the chest. |

My dad's started with a cold then went to his chest and while he's ok in himself he has been having coughing fits. So no doubt this is what is wrong with Francis. BTW JC (Gille) posted on FB saying get well soon Frame. That is nice to see with whatever has gone on recently with comments about "Stamina".

A very heavy touring schedule for a guy his age and taking way too many lead vocals, no wonder he has throat problems.

Based on what the statement says..francis does not have a chest infection. He has a cold. They cancelled because he has a cold...perhaps brought on by the draft in half empty halls ( not arenas) |
