Status Quo brengt op 6 september nieuwe album ‘Backbone’ uit

Op 6 september brengt Status Quo het nieuwe album Backbone uit via earMUSIC/Edel. Het is het 33ste album van de band en de eerste studioplaat sinds de soundtrack Bula Quo! uit 2013. Het nieuwe album bewijst dat het creatieve vuur bij oprichter en voorman Francis Rossi nog steeds hevig brandt, ondanks dat dit het eerste Quo album is waarop wijlen Rick Parfitt op geen enkele wijze terugkomt.

Rossi: ‘This new material had to be seriously good. Quo have achieved so much and meant so much to too many people for the quality to slip now. Also, let’s face it, things have changed and we’re an easier target than ever. Losing Rick was hard to bear but, through Richie Malone, who was inspired to pick up a guitar by him, we can not only keep going but actually pick up the pace. The energy that he and Leon bring to Quo can’t be underestimated. I wasn’t sure I had another album in me but I couldn’t be more proud of Backbone. I hope the fans love it, but you can’t please everyone and I’m not going to start trying to now.’
