*FACTS FROM THE ROAD

08.09.2001 - Quo appeared shortly after the death of manager David Walker on the hugely popular Swedish bingo show "Bingolotto" on September 8th. Filmed in Göteborg, they kicked off the show with "Whatever You Want" and later played "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll" plus "Rockin' All Over The World". 

08.02.2002 - the band regret to announce the cancellation of six UK gigs due to commence at Leicester De Montfort Hall, February 8th due to Rick Parfitt suffering from a trapped nerve in his arm.

The other shows cancelled are at Carlisle Sands Centre (9th), Grimsby Auditorium (10th), Hereford Leisure Centre (12th), Port Talbot Aquadome (13th) and Plymouth Pavilions (14th).

Ironically, the gigs had already been rescheduled for February following postponements during Quo's massive 39 date 'Never Say Never' UK tour in November and December as a result of either Rick's earlier elbow injury or Francis Rossi contracting flu and bronchitis.

Rick trapped his Radial Nerve in his upper left arm twelve days ago. The freak accident occurred as a result of Rick sleeping in an awkward position in his hotel room in Braunschweig, Germany. When he woke up, Rick found that he was unable to move his left wrist. He was examined by a German neurologist who explained that the injury is a fairly common condition for which there is no treatment other than rest.

07.06.2002 - Status Quo heads out to Scandinavia for 8 gigs. Highlight is the show on the "Swedish Rock festival" in Sölvesborg on June 7. After the heavy metal band Virgin Steele and Magnum, Status Quo played a full set. After Quo's performance , Rob Halford (ex Judas Priest) entered the stage. The festival was sold out with 15.000 people every day. Quo headlined the famous "Sweden Rock Festival" for the very first time.

10.06.2002 -  the gig in Stockholm had to be cancelled due to technical problems. The cause was a too small stage at the venue.
