Anyone who knows me ,knows my favorite band of all time is Status Quo .
As a child during 80s and 90s Ricky and Francis were always on tv ,loved there funny interviews,and music.
In 2010 I met Rick Parfitt he was crossing the road in Manchester , everything was a bit of a flash I was so overwhelmed and starstruck.got the photo on my wall of us.
2021 I finally got to meet Francis Rossi , I honestly was a bag of nerves and had adrenaline flowing , but he to me “it’s alright my lovley”
I gave him the gift of a art work of himself in the 80s , he signed one of my art works for me he said he remember the event and kept the jacket.
He also said that I’m beautiful , lovley and delicious ,the biggest complement a man has ever given me , so I’m extremely flattered by it.
At the end I said I
“It was a pleasure to meet you ,your in my favorite rock band thankyou”…..and I think I was bowing to him …don’t know why natural reaction to lead singer of fav rock band I guess haha!!!
So at the end of this I had to have a stiff drink which for a lady like me is a southern comfort and lemonade. That charmed my nerves .
So glad I finally got to meet the great Francis Rossi in person one of best quo days of my life ,it’s up there with meeting Rick and being front of Rick at the stage .
