And, 2016 takes it's latest victim...

Oh - I thought the Heimlich manoeuvre was a move in chess

Damn, I thought it was a move from the Kama Sutra !

Quo hadn't put anything decent out in over 30 years, but they were very much a part of my Rock upbringing and wrote some absolutely brilliant tunes and released some classic albums. Sad to hear of his passing.

Now Rick Parfitt of Status Quo

That's really bad, loved Quo, in terms of out & out musical talent though not in the same league as Bowie & Prince.

I was very impressed with the acoustic versions of their work that they did a couple of years back, some really stood out as well crafted songs in an English folk style.

This is my favorite "recent" release. Just some old men having fun. If you watch the video Rick is clearly the most unfit of the bunch.

Another sad loss.

We took our lad to see the Quo when he was 16, he protested at the time and has been a fan since.

I was really shocked by this. When a friend posted about 2016 taking another, I thought Carrie Fisher, but this is so much worse.
RIP Rick. Absolute legend

A sad loss to the music industry, i have been a quo fan for more years than I care to remember. R.I.P.

 

[numbnuts]

Lost a lot of good people this year RIP

 

[Brandane]

Another icon from my youth, gone. I'm off to get their greatest hits album on, loud, for some head bangin'.
Thanks for the memories, and RIP, Rick .

Sad news, he died aged 68 after contracting an infection following a shoulder injury.

One the great rockers of the last fifty years and an enduring talent.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Sad news

 

[gavroche]

That's the end of the Quo's then. Very sad.

 

[Drago]

R.I.P. Another uncompromising rocker gone.
