Status Quo's Francis Rossi: "I’d rather have a buttered bread roll with mild cheddar and tomato than cocaine and groupies"

Francis Rossi

Francis Rossi has no time for rock 'n' roll behaviour. 

"What’s been sold as rock ’n’ roll behaviour is usually just arsehole behaviour," says Status Quo's frontman. "I don’t believe in the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. All this business of insulting people, pissing on their feet, chucking up in the streets, driving home drunk then telling the coppers to fuck off… if anyone else did that they’d be out of a job in a heartbeat. But we’re indulged. It’s boring. I’d rather have a buttered bread roll with mild cheddar and tomato than cocaine and groupies."
