Just read the really sad news that Rick Parfitt died today - he was 68.   Another musician leaves us in 2016.   :(

Gutted to lose a hero of mine. I've always loved Status Quo, in fact I was listening to them before Dire Straits. The 3 chord myth is also ball shine and does them no justice. A fantastic band sadly no more.

Sixty-eight? OMG that's so early and sudden. Not a very healthy life as far as I'm concerned though... I just got drunk last night for the first time in 2016 at this corporate party and was thinking all the time — why I would do it every day? RIP Rick Parfitt.

Nothing to do with his lifestyle, an infection from a hospital after a shoulder injury. Very bad luck.

I think in general he had an unhealthy lifestyle though, lots of alcohol and Cocaine. Maybe didn't kill him directly but won't have helped fight a situation like this I'm sure. Anyway, RIP, saw them live twice and they were brilliant both times.

I find I'm quite upset about this. Rick was the rhythm powerhouse of Quo & just seemed indestructible, despite his numerous health issues.

R.I.P RIck.

In light of last nights announcement this statement now seems pretty weak.

I met Rick in 2004 along with Francis - really nice chap to speak to...
I have been following the Mighty Quo for 25+ years including attending lots of concert's too....

RIP Rick
