How long until the reunion tour is announced?

[Hopkirk]

I hope they are not all hoping for solo singing careers.

[tonyav]

I hope they don't have as many farewell concerts as Status Quo !

[MadMen]

There will be a greatest hits album out soon, then the tour, then the TV show, then I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

It'll be downhill from there...

[tonyav]

Don't forget 'Family Fortunes' MM.

[ummmm]

One of them is now a farmer. I don't know which one though :-)

[Hopkirk]

I bet that is just PR spin, Ummmm.
He's probably just got a couple of chickens.

[tonyav]

Yes ummmm, I think he's been on Countryfile, can't remember which one it was though.

tonyav - Staus Quo have not done a Farwell Tour since 1984, when the original bassist and drummer were departed.

Since then, they have been a-rockin', and let's be frank about it - a-rollin', ever since, and long may they continue!!!

[tonyav]

Yes every bloody Christmas at the NEC.

[ummmm]

Lol...are you a bit fed up with them, Tony?

[tonyav]

I've been fed up with them since about 1970 approx, ummmm. lol

[ludwig]

There'll probably be a Westlife one first. It's part of the boy band career strategy these days. Announce a 'split', take a few years holiday, then return with a lucrative 'reunion' tour and album to rake in a shedload more money.

tonyav - i am shocked! the Quo have been the mainstay of British rock for years, and their harmless if somewhat similar rockaboogie choons have ensured that large gentlemen in denim who enjoy long hair and beer can have a good night out at least once a year - provided they can get to Birmingham.

What - as the saying has it - is not to like???

[tonyav]

LOL, the same old tune, just slightly different words. But hey they have made a very good living out of it.

[andy-hughes]

I interviewed Francis Rossi once for a musicians' magazine, and I asked him about the famous 'three chords'. Francis advised me that he actually knows three major chords AND three minor chords, so that is six chords in all!

Typical humour from a man hwo knows that he is an excellent guitarist, and he knows that anyone who knows anything about guitar playing knows it as well.

[MadMen]

Just got this email. Looks like they weren't long accepting TV offers...

It's a slippery slope.
