On August 23, 2024, at an open-air arena in Taunton, Status Quo played what’s likely to be their final concert. Afterwards the group sold their gear and the individual members went their separate ways.
In the aftermath, having put more than six decades of his life into Quo (and its various forerunners), final original and principal Francis Rossi was left in a quandary. The singer and lead guitarist had come to an arrangement with Rick Parfitt that in the event of one of them dying, the other could continue as Quo.
