Hmm, plausible. Probable. But would Frame actually announce this to a small time local rag? Well yes, he probably would.

I remember a very similar statement in one of the regional newspapers last year, possibly from Cornwall.... saying it would be the very last time to see them. They say the same every year. I guess soon they will be right.

I've just had a look at their tour schedule and its very quiet. No gigs before May this year. And only booked up to August and this Somerset gig...

"Their last tour featuring their trademark electric guitars""There's more to come from us in the years ahead, but we won't tour the electric set ever again." "This is definitely the end of our lives on the road with the electric set, life won't be the same for us – or many of the fans – but we can't go on at this pace any more." Aquostic full time then..

The cover of Guantanamera should bury Piledriver for ever I reckon.

Following the premature release of the article by the Western Daily Press, please see below the official press release which had been placed under strict embargo buy Status Quo’s management until midnight tonight. We have been authorised to publish this now until such time that it can be put on Quo’s official web site.
‘Monday February 1st: Status Quo today announce that their 2016 live shows will represent their last ever full on Electric tour. Following a final high profile European tour, which will start in October and include UK dates in December 2016, no further electric tours will be booked for this legendary band. Francis Rossi said, “We’ve talked about it for some time and have decided that it’s time for us to hang up the electrics. It’s getting harder and harder for us to play those shows. It’s 30 years since we last said we were stopping but this is a final decision. It doesn’t mean we won’t do other things, perhaps the odd special, but we’re agreed that the moment has come. There’s more to come from us in the years ahead, but we won’t tour the electric set ever again”. Rick Parfitt added, “We always thought we’d see a red light when it was time to stop. The show hurts now, physically. It’s hard to maintain that level of energy and without that it’s not really a Quo show. So we don’t feel we should continue. This is definitely the end of our lives on the road with the electric set, life won’t be the same for us – or many of the fans – but we can’t go on at this pace any more”. “The Last Night Of The Electrics” Tour will go on sale in February 2016. Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andy Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards and Leon Cave will plug back in and bring their thunderous electric live show back to the nation’s venues for the last time. Packed with hits, both new and old, taken from that unbelievable back catalogue. If you love Status Quo, you need to be there; if you’ve never before seen this truly legendary act play a full full-throttle no-nonsense electric set, you need to be there! These tour dates will truly be the end of an era as Status Quo turn their back on constantly touring their fabled electric live set. Since first charting in 1967 the band have become a truly iconic and massively influential rock act. The world of music will not be the same once the dust has settled from “The Last Night Of The Electrics” Tour.’

Wonder if BOTE, Oriental, CUOY will be kept for Aquostic...
This was inevitable, but the decision to keep on touring and not even bothering to make wholesale changes is what makes this less of a last hurrah than it should be.
That and "The Last Night Of The Electrics" being a shit title. Well done, Mr Porter.

Is this a threat or a promise? And not a word about a more "worthy" farewell... I guess I have to break my wov just for the closing of the circle....

No AL or JC im out Well, guess we'll wait and see. If they're not included in some shape or form it'll be a disgraceful way to call it a day. I'll be gutted if they just play that same damn set as their 'goodbye'.
