Francis Rossi (Status Quo Singer) On This Morning [10.05.2024]

[@MrDarkmenace1]

For the 50 years I've been watching and listening to this man, he never comes across as anything less than the consumate professional when he's interviewed. No frills. No bull shit. Just tells it how it really is. Long live the Quo. keep rockin' on.

It is because of where we came from, our parents were different and gave us 'family education', it made us what we are. I am 3 years older than him.

[@stephenrice4554]

I'm always impressed that Francis has to emphasis that the people who come to the show are so important that it concerns him enough to wrap his life in preparation to give them the best possible . And his sense of humour 😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@hgn2321]

A world without Quo ... My mind can't process that ❤

[@sueperglue8847]

Exactly. I hope he wille be around for a few more years.

[@brigidsingleton1596]

When my late Mum was alive, she adored Status Quo, and as she aged and suffered ill health, after heart attacks and strokes, it was always the music of Quo who got her through each recovery period. She'd tap her feet, nod her head (an 80+ year old "headbanger" was a sight to see!!) and sing along to every song as her brain recovered and was able to process the life she remembered and continued to get better. My thanks to Francis Rossi for his great personality, his great music and the wonderful help he (obviously unwittingly!) gave to my Mum, getting her through her various trials and tribulations. So good to see Francis doing so well himself. Long may he continue to be fit, well and to enjoy his life. ❤️🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙂🇬🇧 R.I.P. to passed on band members...

[@backstreetangels-k3z]

Rock n Roll soldier, he should get a medal for endurance!

[@CB-xr1eg]

It's just a shame that he's never been able to say that he misses Rick, if he actually does.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

@@CB-xr1eg I interpret it as personal thing for him. He is all about business when getting interviewed and that is why he doesn't say that he misses him. Francis isn't the nostalgic type of person either which you would notice because he deliberatly chooses not to comment on what would be his fondest memories of his career. It's all about business and the now. Love him.

[@SPOOKSTR]

I seen them in the 90's at the Enmore Theater in Sydney. No money, no ticket, no shoes. I walked around the back and straight through an open door. I ended up in the green room chilling out with the band. Francis commented on my bare feet and we all had a laugh. Almost brings a tear to my eye remembering.

[@MDyson151]

THE most charming, down to earth and just brilliant human being I've ever met.

[@JohnArchbell]

You can tell he’s tired. There’s a sense of realism in his voice and demeanour. He wanted to reminisce about Rick but it’s not good business. It’s what happened to The Stones when Charlie passed. It’s the elephant in the room - don’t scratch the surface. Brilliant band. A stalwart of my youth. Like a faithful dog, The Quo have always been there for me. Francis has done well to keep the dream alive. There’s an element of doubt but there will be when you’re an ageing rocker! Good luck mate.

[@folginator]

I don’t think he wanted to talk about Rick. In the interviews I’ve seen, he’s almost dismissive of him.

[@CB-xr1eg]

"Aged" rocker you mean.

[@JohnArchbell]

@@CB-xr1eg no. He’s still in the industry. He’s still getting older. Still an ageing rocker.

Remember seeing Quo here in Melbourne Australia maybe 20 years ago and it was totally amazing to see everyone getting into the music regardless of age. I will never forget Francis stopping mid way through a song and telling a grandmother to put her top back on. What a great night and what a band! Aussies love Quo.✌️🙏

I write from France and I am 63 years old. If Francis Rossi is certainly a British rock legend, it's funny to me to see him in an interview and in a costume. In fact, for me, he is just the only survivor of a legend, but in France we do not have, or no longer have, the same perception as you of this era that I loved so much.

[@royferguson2297]

Met him on his chat tour very down to earth guy.
