British rockers Walkway recently recorded a version of the evergreen Status Quo track 'Rain' as a very special tribute to Rick Parfitt, with none other than original Status Quo drummer John Coghlan.
Walkway exclusively spoke to MetalTalk saying: "We can't wait to release this new record, and it is by far our best and contains our strongest material to date - we're sure rock fans are going to love it.
We're really pleased to have a tribute to the great Rick Parfitt on the album, who we played with many times and who was a fan of our band.
"We wanted to do something special so thought what better way than cover 'Rain' and we were very happy to have John Coghlan playing on the track to give the song a more authentic stamp, and make the tribute that little more special. We'd like to thank both John and Gillie Coghlan for making this possible and for their time."
Following on from the recording, Coghlan has arranged to attend Walkway's upcoming show at Fat Lil's in Witney on Friday 31st March where he'll get up on stage and perform with the band.
