    A very sad day.

    Rick and Francis were probably my first guitar heroes. Aged 11 the earliest riffs I learned were Quo ones and I used to listen to their greatest hits tape non stop during my first year as a guitarist. I remember my dad taking me to Musical Exchanges in Birmingham to buy me an amp in 1992. I remember asking to try out this little Marshall Lead 20 with a real Telecaster (because that's what my heroes had) and cranking out the intro to Caroline. The guy in the shop seemed bemused that, when invited to pick any guitar off the wall to try this amp, I picked a plain old Tele rather than a neon coloured Ibanez that were very much in vogue at the time.

    Rest in peace Rick. Thank you for the music and the inspiration you've given to me and countless others.

    A real shock, nice guy and a great musician, one of those people who you just think will always be there, but sadly not it seems. The world feels a different place, what a year.

    Really sad - will never forget seeing Quo do 'Down Down' on Top of the Pops - one of those indelible childhood memories.

    RIP Rick....

    You forgot Craig Gill - drummer with the Inspiral Carpets - died aged 44 in November - or Nick Menza drummer with Megadeath who died in May.

    News about Rick is really sad .. saw Status Quo loads of times in the 70s. Great band - Rick will be sadly missed. RIP.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    RIP

    Parfitt came across as a great chap in the documentary about Quo.  He'll be missed for sure.

    He'd been ill, but this sounds like something more sudden and unexpected, and not related to his existing condition.

    I'll treasure the experience of seeing him on the 'Frantic Four' reunion tour a couple of years back - the shocking thing is that the rumour at the time was that Alan Lancaster was ill, but Parfitt looked fine.

    Sad times.

    RIP :(

    Very sad. He always seemed like a very positive and decent bloke and a powerhouse right hand too! I listened to bucket loads of quo when I was starting out and had many a great time jamming quo numbers with my mate, who was a rabid quo fan and will be devastated...

    Oh FFS.

    Sadly, @UnclePsychosis is right - there are a huge portion of super-famous people entering their final years. The next decade is likely to be brutal :(
