2016 is ending as it began.
Rick Parfitt from Status Quo has climbed the celestial stairs today.
Despite being put down by many, the Quo were a massive part of the Rock Scene. Piledriver is still one of the rawest Rock 'n' Roll albums ever to grace vinyl.
And I believe it was Allan Herons son, Martin who said something along the lines of "Quo a three chord wonder, there are at least 11 chords in Whatever You Want." (If I have misquoted I apologise).
RIP Rick - your rockin' was a lot of fun back in the 1970's. I still remember the carnage of the Southend Kursaal ballroom after the Quo had hit town.
