Just come on BBC, he's gone!!!

2016 gets even worse!!!

[BobVbass]

So upset, seen Quo so many times through my life. taken my son to see them. So many happy memories of their songs and gigs and Rick. RIP. What an awful year.

[lojo]

When I saw Quo a few years ago they joked about the possibility of them going on stage during the gig , they both came accross as very down to earth and grateful for how their lives had been.

[ezbass]

Just when you thought 2016 couldn't suck any more, it turns around and gives you a full throated swing to the crotch.

[gareth]

What a dreadful year for muso deaths this has been

[KiOgon]

Sad news RIP Rick

Here's hoping for a 2017 that's not so cruel

[Lozz196]

Never got to see The Quo, really wish I had, RIP Rick.

[leschirons]

Just heard. Yet another one. Not a fan but huge respect. Seems it was an infection.

Real shame. Only 68 too.

[chris_b]

Very, very sad news.

[wmsheep]

Really sad news - just cannot wait for 2016 to be a distant memory.

RIP

[SpondonBassed]

Good man Rick, thank you!

Rotten year, truly shocking.

[Hutton]

This makes me very sad.

[Downdown]

After a long-ish history of serious heart problems and his recent announcment about retiring from Quo . . . . infection complications from a shoulder injury?!!!!!

Still, no doubting his legacy, so let's rejoice in that and remember the happy times

RIP

[Bassman Sam]

Gutted.

[Phil Adams]

Awful news.
RIP Rick.

[KevB]

Really drove the band along and a great vocal match up with Rossi. RIP Mr Parfitt.

[BrunoBass]

What a damn shame. I met him once, nice guy. Monster rhythm guitarist too.

[AndyTravis]

Always came across really well on TV and in interviews...

Really sad.

[bassbiscuits]

Just been out with my brother and dad who are both quo fans and heard the news. Genuinely sad.

He was one of the main reasons my bro plays guitar.

We're listening to 12 Gold Bars and raising a glass or two to Rick. RIP chap.

[ColinB]

I've been a fan since the early 70s and seen them several times. They (+The Beatles) were my inspiration for taking up the guitar.

I'm really upset. RIP Rick - never forgotten.

[Highfox]

Yes, RIP

It can't be as cruel as this year; there's hardly anyone left

RIP Rick.

Grew up with them...even tried to look like him as a teen (blonde hair denim etc)....then Bowie too, and last night my old dad was rushed into hospital....what a strange year indeed. Struth.
