Well if what Francis said last year is true, then there is no insurance in place for Rick while on tour as the cost was too high. I'm not sure what to believe with this story. As I have heard that Rick now has memory problems and that when he came round after the Heart Attack. He thought he was still married to Patty and did not know about the twins.

OK, I get the uninsureability (?) for the man, but the transport should be taken care of by the management, and not the family.... fekk... he was at work!

Well it has to be said that link does not present Rick in a good way at all and is very disappointing to read in the light of the problems with Quo and on the back of his biggest health scare.
Its quite possible of course, with media being the animal that it is, that it doesn't tell the complete story and makes it look worse than it is - but based on Ricks previous history it unfortunately does paint a familiar pattern. The circumstances and background described are a womans nightmare scenarios - trying her hardest to support a husband who clearly still hasn't grown up (however much it seemed that at last he had become a responsible family man) and at this stage of his life almost certainly never will. And then getting repaid like that.
Sympathy very much goes to Lyndsay and the couple's children. He is frankly incredibly stupid (and highly selfish and hurtful) to abandon the one true safe haven he has in his life - at a time when he especially needs all the support he can get.
Treating them this way, however precarious his health may be, is inexcusable.
It has to also be said that if this information is any way accurate to how he has behaved towards his family it puts a very different perspective of the band and managements attitude towards him - which up to now had seemed unduly hard-lined.

Mr. Parfitt's behavious is another matter, I won't go there. But still, the transport should have been a durex matter...

Oh dear.... so it seems the rumours were true Only Rick and Lyndsey know the truth of their relationship but with all the stress of recent months, should he have waited a bit longer to see if things settle down? It's a shame for the kids.... As I said though, we don't know all the details and it's nothing to do with us really. But 'we' all know and love Rick for his music and on-stage energy and obviously want him to be happy. He has treated his women badly in the past though... Just on a side note, I thought the images of how the Porsche, Turkey and Croatia might have looked were quite funny

Like when they publish stock pictures of how snow might look. Anyway, Rick is a damaged soul in many ways. I've never thought he was a 'bad' person, but very selfish.

Just on a side note, I thought the images of how the Porsche, Turkey and Croatia might have looked were quite funny I agree it is indeed their business, and in that sense its very true its nothing to do with us.
But we can still also react to what we read in terms of what has happened - especially based on the fact that there is no getting away from the fact that it represents Rick biggest downfall - repeated too many times in his personal life
Its one thing wanting him to be happy. Most fans would want that - and most all of us celebrate him as the major engine room of Quo. But it doesn't mean we have to condone everything he does, and its reasonable I think to do this where clearly it seems has got things very wrong once again.
Its too easy to see, most unfortunately, how his own behaviour has led to the position where Quo are going ahead without him - beyond just the fact that his health is highly fragile and he cannot play for this reason.

Yes he seems to have been a "Grass is always greener" type of person. He's one of those people you can't help but like but has a side to him that makes him self centred. Which relationship wise is not good, sad thing is he never learns from his mistakes.

Health and personal issues aside(it's none of my business) all I can say is what goes around comes around. Rick was instrumental in shafting Alan back in 85 when Rossi came calling to reform Quo now it looks like Rick will be the one losing out all round. Just feel sorry for his two young kids,very sad situation any family break up. Cheers

Flat broke he probably would have drunk himself to death. Though I suppose he's still been doing that in moderation over the years. It's just each time he's been lucky maybe the luck has now run out.
