Seriously? JC, there are grey areas all over the departure of John. You all like to blame Francis but what about RP and AL? Did they just go along with it? yeah right AL, a clash between the two, who thought they were or wanted to be the front man, they fell out and we know the rest. RP, health reasons is the only reason Rick isn't there now, even the biggest anti Rossi person knows that. Wrong. The only thing Al wanted was a voting system within the band. Rossi made sure that wasn't about to happen. No argument about who was the front man there then.

Some fans think it's sh1t, others don't, all down to opinion. Pretty good attendances at moment at the gigs as well, so it doesn't matter how many different ways/topics we have on here spreading the negativity, the show goes on.

How can anyone think what has happened to Rick regarding his health and the band deciding to complete the tour without him, as stabbing him in the back? It does raise a question though... If what Francis says is true, why did they continue to push ahead with hectic schedules, knowing Rick's health was on a tightrope. People say Francis gets too much grief from fans but, him and Porter come out with some of the most hypocritical shite I've ever heard This whole thing raises more questions than answers I think Rhino's comments recently stating he can't understand why people think it's not Quo just because Rick isn't there, is the more obvious back stabbing... Remember what Rick done for him It isn't ideal at all I agree, and Rhino should keep shtum to be honest. But all I see now is a band trying to fulfil commitments set in place before Ricks health scare.

A true gent. Envelope was probably opened up with the same letter opener they used to stab him in the back with. How can anyone think what has happened to Rick regarding his health and the band deciding to complete the tour without him, as stabbing him in the back?

This is not a slagging off post, dissing all who have chosen to keep their tickets for this "final" tour, hope anybody goin enjoys the "show", (will be 1st tour I've reneged since'84). BUT, my overriding feeling is of utter disbelief at how this year has panned out. Ok, the band announce the final 'electric' tour - we guessed that was comin in the next coming couple of years anyway. BUT, compare the feeling of 'EOTR 84' to this years effort:- '84 = genuinely very sad for the Q Army and still massive live credibility with the general public & music press etc, whereas 2016 = just sad - full stop.(Imo) What you have to remember nobody including the band knew it was going to pan out like it has. They announced the final tour and then are hit by Parfitt's health scare. I believe if Parfitt had been taken ill first there would have been no LATE tour. In 1984 they were too young to retire and it was odds on they would return. Now years and years later they are old enough to retire and it's obvious they should.

Rick who? Well at least Rossi can go on tv and say 'well, he wasn't an original member of the band anyway, he only joined in '68!!' John - done Alan - done Rick - done Finally, Francis can record and play the music he has always desired under the Quo name. Perhaps it was the Italian in him. Systematically eradicating his enemies to take complete control. Godfather IV Seriously? JC, there are grey areas all over the departure of John. You all like to blame Francis but what about RP and AL? Did they just go along with it? yeah right AL, a clash between the two, who thought they were or wanted to be the front man, they fell out and we know the rest. RP, health reasons is the only reason Rick isn't there now, even the biggest anti Rossi person knows that.

Resurrection sounds quite good, Backwater is fairly decent. Dear John (at best) sounds interesting as it's so different. Other than that, I'm hard pressed to say anything positive. ROLD was painful. Quite like Jam Side Down myself.

It is a band yes. The name has been kept, it's not ideal but that's the way it is. Let's face facts that age and health was always going to be a key factor to whether they could keep going or not. Should Rossi drop the name, now Parfitt isn't there well that's another argument. I suppose there wouldn't have been a discussion if it had been Rhino or Andy leaving. No one seemed to notice when Andy stepped away for a while. Again they got a replacement when AB took time out, Rhino after 30 years will probably see things out. As for a discussion, no there probably wouldn't have been on here

Can we find a handful of fans of the Status Quo of Today? Where are we looking for them?

You are right he is not a member he is a stand in for Parfitt , but apart from Richie the rest of the band are full members are they not of the band Status Quo. Not the Status Quo most of us want it to be but in the cold light of day, there is no deluded about it, it's the Status Quo of today. They may be full members but it is now without Rick, can it called a band when one member is the majority band member and the rest of the band are minority members. Is that really a band ? It is a band yes. The name has been kept, it's not ideal but that's the way it is. Let's face facts that age and health was always going to be a key factor to whether they could keep going or not. Should Rossi drop the name, now Parfitt isn't there well that's another argument.
