Cancelled

With great reluctance we are forced to announce the cancellation of the forty date UK and European tour that was planned for winter 2020 in support of the ‘Backbone’ album release. This is in line with public health requirements and advice relating to Covid-19.

Due to various commitments for next year, the band are unable to reschedule these shows for 2021. This cancellation is not what the band wanted, but they are very mindful of the wellbeing of band, audience and crew. Despite the fact that many shows have already sold out, an outright cancellation will allow our valued fans to receive a refund on tickets purchased.

All UK and EU dates scheduled for October, November and December are now cancelled - note that the three French dates scheduled for November are now also cancelled.

Quo is a band largely defined by their live performances and we cannot wait for the next time that we can perform safely, securely – and loudly!

CANCELLATION and REFUND INFORMATION

Ticket holders can obtain a refund for cancelled shows from their original point of purchase.

Note that in most cases refunds will automatically be processed. Please allow time for this process to be completed.

Quo - Pictures That Rock - 2005 - 2020

Official Quo photographer Christie Goodwin has taken many hundreds of shots of Quo live, for album covers and behind the scenes. Her first shoot was in Ruinerwold in The Netherlands on May 28th 2005, so it's Christie's 15th Quo Anniversary!

To mark this occasion Christie and her manager Patrick Cusse have put together this fantastic slideshow of some of her great shots taken between between 2005 to 2020.

As Quo's manager Simon Porter said on seeing the slideshow - 'Blimey, that brings back some memories!'

Music is taken from the 'Just Doin' It' Live - DVD - 2013.

Status Quotes!

The book was never published but John has kindly made it available now for Quo fans to enjoy, it's a 36 page PDF - and very amusing too!

Click to order Backbone
Quo's 33rd studio album ‘Backbone’ is now released through earMUSIC / Edel in a variety of formats. The LP is the band's 33rd 33rpm!

Some doubters said 'Backbone' was a record that could not be made, but the 2019 line-up of Status Quo has been through a lot, they have chalked up 130 shows as a unit and travelled tens of thousands of miles. This is a group of musicians that is strong, that back each other up and are tighter than ever. 'Backbone' features of a trio songs drawn from the classic partnership of Rossi / Young as well as contributions from all of the rest of the band.

The eleven track album was recorded at Francis' studio in the late months of 2018 and into this year. The sessions were initially just to keep the juices flowing, improvise and have fun. As the hours rolled on, songs stacked up, everyone began to believe that something special was happening. And so it proved. Even from within the group, there had been some resistance to creating a new record.

As Francis says, "This new material had to be seriously good. Quo have achieved so much and meant so much to too many people for the quality to slip now. Also, let’s face it, things have changed and we’re an easier target than ever.

Losing Rick was hard to bear but, through Richie Malone, who was inspired to pick up a guitar by him, we can not only keep going but actually pick up the pace. The energy that he and Leon bring to Quo can’t be underestimated. I wasn’t sure I had another album in me but I couldn’t be more proud of ‘Backbone’. I hope the fans love it, but you can’t please everyone and I’m not going to start trying to now".

To have 'Backbone' means to stand firm, to stand up for what you believe in. The title fits. The hundreds of songs recorded by Quo over half a century still resonate today, and the tracks on this album are a worthy addition to that incredible catalogue. A new Quo studio album is a cause for celebration, especially when it kicks like this one. And for the doubters? A 'Backbone' is also a support, a unifying element that keeps things in shape. Underlying this new record are the core desires to keep creating, to be the best and to keep playing: these are the qualities that have kept Quo at the top for so long. 'Backbone' will ensure that Francis Rossi and Quo keep standing proud. And, by naming the album 'Backbone', they’re ready for the 'Spinal Tap' headlines too!

The new autobiography, 'I Talk Too Much', is published by Little, Brown. This gripping brand-new book has been created in conjunction with award-winning writer and broadcaster Mick Wall, who has sold more than 1 million books.

In this explosive new memoir, the famously indiscreet Rossi reveals the true-life stories behind his unbelievable career. Painfully honest at times, the book covers the glory years, the dark days, the ups and downs of his relationship with the late Rick Parfitt and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time.
