    Default Rick Parfitt

    Status Quo guitarist and vocalist Rick Parfitt has passed aged 68. I know Quo never took off in the States but they were huge on this side of the Atlantic, and my first concert was to see them in my hometown. My thoughts to his family, friends, and the rest of Status Quo. 2016's been a shocking year.

    2016 has claimed another RIP Rick Parfitt.
    I saw Status Quo in concert a few years ago and they rocked the night away!

    I saw them back in 1978, my first non-Australian rock concert. I knew Rick hadn't been well but this was still a shock to find out here on what is Christmas Day for me. May he RIP & I hope he's living on that island now.

    A great singer and a fantastic rhythm guitarist. A fine songwriter as well, although - by his own admission - he got a bit lazy in that department later on. Because of health issues he didn't tour with Quo anymore, and it's really sad that he didn't get a chance to enjoy his retirement days.

    RIP Mr. Parfitt

    Status Quo were very much a part of my 'wasted youth'. I've seen them lots of times and the shows were always fun.
    RIP Rick.
