We know these days that Quo and many other bands make their money from touring. Now at the moment with Rick sidelined does he still earn money from the tour billed as Status Quo, I would think that he would. However If they went out as the Francis Rossi band would Rick earn from that. I don't think he would which is why inevitably the show must go on.
I know we have all read about how Francis needs the money well no doubt with young children Rick will need it as well. Considering that the DM article is saying he is currently earning £600 a month from a pension. Which might be his government pension.

He will earn royalties from every single gig they play - on all the songs he had a writing credit. Same with Aquostic.
He will also earn royalties whenever anyone plays his music anywhere in the world. And so he would earn this if Francis toured and plays songs he wrote.

Yes Rick will be entitled to his State Pension. And yes whilst he is on the board of and is part owner of the brand he will continue to earn from the earnings Status Quo make. Telling I think he will still be involved in off stage promotion. Which is him n Francis anyway.
But let's not cry for Rick. He's hardly badly off. I wish I was a tenner behind him.

Can't imagine anyone but Rick or Alan singing Backwater. In in truth I only want to hear Alan sing this.

Any song they adapted for Aquostic which is played on either album, Rick with get royalties if he was the original writer on that song. He will also get other royalties for any songs he plays on. There are 2 elements to this. The writing royalties and the performing royalties.

He'll get money anytime a Quo song is played on radio anyways or they sell merchandise with him on it, or through the coles ads etc
Not 100% sure about gigs though. Anyone can cover anyone as far as I'm aware

Anyone can cover anyone as far as I'm aware He will at least get money from performing rights on the songs he wrote that are played live. Very few these days.

In fact if anyone plays a Quo song at any gig, in theory, they should pay royalties to do that.
