*FACTS FROM THE ROAD:

26.11.2015 - The "Accept No Substitutes" tour kicked off at Tilburg, the Netherland. This one-night only appearance outside the UK gave the band a chance to get a feel for the new set they'd been rehearsing during the previous ten days. "New" in the set are The Wanderer, Burning Bridges and GerdundUla.

15.06.2016 - In the early hours of Wednesday 15 June 2016 following the Status Quo gig at Expo 2016 in Antalya, Turkey, Rick Parfitt suffered from a heart attack.
He is being treated in a private hospital in Antalya,Turkey and whilst his condition is serious, the band had already agreed to perform at the Rock On Windermere charity show on Saturday 18th June to raise funds for the Cumbria Flood Appeal. Rick and the band did not want to cancel this important show, and so it will go ahead with Freddie Edwards, the son of Quo bassist John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, stepping in for Rick. It is likely that Freddie will stay with the band to allow them to honour their commitments and not let down the fans.

08.07.2016 - Press release: Simon Porter, the band’s manager said, “Rick is now making an excellent and steady recovery from an extremely serious life threatening situation following a Quo show in Turkey last month. He has now had a defibrillator fitted into his chest in order to regulate any future heart issues and has left hospital in order to recuperate with family and friends. Although I am now happy to report that his medical team anticipate that Rick
will make a full recovery, it will likely be a long and ongoing process. To this end, Rick has given his full blessing for the band to continue with the current summer touring schedule utilizing guest guitarists. Freddie Edwards, son of Quo bass player John 'Rhino' Edwards has successfully stepped in for Rick over recent gigs and will now continue for the majority of Quo's shows during July and August, the current exceptions being gigs in Leuven, Belgium, Edinburgh, and the seven shows in Spain and UK where Irish guitarist Richie Malone will step in.”
Rick’s family have said, “We would like to thank everyone including the fans for their messages of support during the last weeks and especially the kindness and care of all the staff at the Royal Brompton.” Both the band and Rick would like to thank the fans for their continued understanding and support and would like to stress that he will return to the fold as soon as possible, but in Rick's best interests any return will not be rushed until he makes a full and absolute recovery.

20.07.2016 - The "Accept No Substitute" Tour this summer is something really special in Quo's glory tour history. With Rick, Freddie Edwards and Richie Malone performed 3 different guitarists. The first gig with Richie was in Leuven, Belgium. Richie Malone normally played with his irish band RAID. On YouTube you'll find some clips with Quo and Richie from Leuven.  

- First show with Status Quo's new drummer Leon Cave at Frankfurts Wolkenkratzer Festival, Germany.

h September, has been cancelled.    The band hoping that it can be re-scheduled at some point during 2015.
