Earlier this month, Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi announced his new album, The Accidental. Written with family friend Hiran Ilangantilike and solo show partner Andy Brook, it's a return to a rock sound that's been largely absent from his solo records thus far.
Most importantly for Rossi, The Accidental finds him in charge, and he likes it. Now the frontman wishes he'd seized complete creative control of Status Quo when they reformed for Live Aid in 1985 after playing their farewell show in Milton Keynes the year before.
