Ronan Lardner on The Live Wire caught up with Francis Rossi of Status Quo fame to chat about his upcoming gig in Leisureland on April 14th. Apart from his impending tour in Ireland, they spoke about the early days of Status Quo, Live Aid '85, Top of the Pops, his new album and his chemistry with the late Rick Parfitt.
Having fronted Status Quo as lead singer and lead guitarist for over fifty years, Francis Rossi might be forgiven for sticking to what he knows and keeping life simple. By stepping into a brand new side of performance with his ‘one man’ shows however, he has demonstrated a couple of unarguable truths: he is not afraid of change, and he does have a lot to talk about!
Tickets for 'The Status Quo Songbook and More can be purchased on Ticketmaster.
