News
The renowned British rock band, Status Quo, have announced their traditional UK winter tour for 2008. The 24-date, 24-venue tour will cover all over the country, kicking off on 27th September in Newcastle and ending in Bournemouth on 23rd December. This will give the fans the chance to experience the magical performances of this influential rock act.
The tour titled 'Pictures – 40 years of hits' marks the 40th anniversary of their first ever hit single ‘Pictures Of Matchstick Men’, which reached no 7 on the UK singles chart, and became their only hit single in the US. They have recorded over 60 chart hits in the UK, and have sold over 118 million records worldwide. Their classics include ‘Paper Plane’ (1972), ‘Caroline’ (1973), ‘Down Down’ (1975), ‘Rockin' All Over the World’ (1977) and ‘Whatever You Want’ (1979).
The band released their 33rd album titled ‘In Search Of The Fourth Chord’, which features a brand new set of future classic Quo songs, in September last year on their own Fourth Chord label in the UK.
Over the years Status quo have had many line-up, but since 2000 the band’s line-up have been Francis Rossi (Vocals / Lead Guitar), Rick Parfitt (Vocals / Guitar), Andy Bown (Keyboards), John 'Rhino' Edwards (Vocals / Bass Guitar ) and Matt Letley (Drums).
Tickets for these shows for Britain’s best loved rock band go on sale from today Friday 28th March.
You can also catch the guys at the Forestry Commission's Forest Tour as well as this year's Motor Show at the Excel, London.
