[@alanstrom2221]

ALAN CHARLES LANCASTER otherwise known as NUFF, has passed away in Sydney, his home for 45 years. The founding member and the backbone of STATUS QUO had been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis for many years. Alan battled on bravely, performing at QUO's Reunion gigs in 2013 and 2014. Even though he had MS, Alan's performance and his vocals were the strongest of the three. My favourite member of QUO is Alan Lancaster. I had the pleasure of having a beer and a smoke with Alan at a Sydney pub gig, in Five Dock, when he had The Lancaster Bombers and The Lancaster/Brewster Bands in the late 80's. We had a longer chat at The Lewisham Hotel as well. These were dirty, grungy hotels, though this didn't phase the great man of the people. Alan was the most beautifil man, very humble, down to earth and a great guy to talk with and have a laugh. Vale Alan ( Nuff ) Lancaster RIP mate, you were one of the greatest Rockers of all time.

[@Teds991]

Couldn’t agree more, while not wanting to belittle the considerable,and upfront, talents of Rossi and Parfitt, we have to remember that Alan and John were the engine room of the Quo. RIP Rick and Alan, you won’t be forgotten. 🤟

[@RobBlackhair]

I remember when my brother first brought home the Pile driver album and I heard status Quo for the first time and it changed my life. I'm very sad to hear of the passing of Alan, but he brought so much joy to people that's how he should be remembered. Brill

[@Isleofskye]

@@RobBlackhair I saw them 5 times in 1972, exactly 50 years ago at The Croydon Greyhound Pub/Music Venue with 3,000 others, all standing and they played 7 Encores with a Medley of 5 songs as just one of their encores. It was near where they were all from which is the borders of South East London and Surrey. They were "paying their dues," they said...

[@tigershoot]

I have been a fan since the late 70s. Got a ticket second hand for this gig from a guy who had bought it for row 17 but then later got a row 4 (dead centre too) ticket. Met him at the gig and after the support act he said that there was nobody next to him so I could chance it. About 5 seats were free next to him and just as Quo were about to start, four people walked in and stopped right next to me, leaving me standing there, the luckiest guy of the night! I was so expecting them to say 'oy - you're in my seat, but I guess either 'my' seat never sold, or the person never turned up! The gig was just awesome - fantastic sound quality and I was just blown away by how hard Rick worked, and how brutal he was with the strings.

[@baynesstreetblues]

In my view it’s the fusion between all of the original Frantic Four (that very few other bands can equal) that makes these guys special when they are in full on, chugging rock mode. To play these so-called simple 12 bar songs with such accuracy requires great skill. Frame’s riffing dovetails beautifully with the incessant, driving bass and drums backline from Nuff and Spud. Without Rick’s metronomic rhythmic guitar, the songs would not be half as powerful. Brilliant stuff 🎉🎉🎉

So true mate. I was a diehard classic line-up fan. When they released In the ARmy now, I thought they completely lost the plot, although it was honestly downhill from Rocking all over the World. You cant beat the period from Dog of two heads to the Double Live album. In the seventies, most classic bands peaked after they released a Double Live eg. Lizzy, Nugent, Golden Earring, Aersosmith etc etc

Saw Quo many times in the early 70’s. Used to wander backstage after the gigs at the colleges and universities they played in those days to have a chat with them (yes it was that easy before the arena thing kicked off big time) They were four of the nicest guys in the business, and were genuinely grateful to get the appreciation of the fans. Great days never to be repeated. This was the REAL Quo no doubt, Francis should stop now or go out as Francis Rossi and Friends. It’s all about selling the name I suppose to shift tickets but does he really need it ?

A little bit like coming home :). Saw it... Enjoyed it tremendously and haven't seen a Quo concert since. To me... It was a bit like closure. I am sure that, what they're doing today is wonderful, and I wish I could play as well as Malone but, that is not the Quo I know and came to love in my teens... RIP Parfitt and Lancaster.

RIP Rick: THE person who inspired me to play guitar, grow my hair, like music(especially rock), etc, etc. With all due respects to Rhino and Andy (take into account the hits they've either written or co written, and their superb musicianship.....), Status Quo without him, Alan Lancaster, John Coghlan and Juniors Wailing is like fish n chips without salt n vinegar, curry without spice, rhyme without reason..... Naturally, they couldn't have done it without Mr Rossi, just as naturally that he still can't do it convincingly without them, and there's no substitute..... I mainly play guitar, but have also been privileged enough to play bass in a couple of bands, and whenever I've been involved in whatever capacity have played with the Parfitt/Lancaster ethos of thumping rhythm coupled to melodic feel. I learned so much from them, and, although I think I'm crap, even after 35+ years of attempting to learn guitar, many of my vastly more accomplished and talented peers admire my natural approach and playing style. Thanks Rick and Alan..... I fondly remember witnessing The Frantic Four at Wembley Arena in March 2013. A spiritual experience. Without wanting to appear self righteous, it did please me that I was the only one in my immediate vicinity who knew April, Spring...... Sacrilege........! Soapbox de-mounted.. cheers.
