Parfitt will never go down as a great but Quo are still the ultimate "get your old man on the dance floor and act like a cock when pissed" band
Pretty much everybody has made themselves look a arse out of trying to dance to Quo and sing along even though most can never remember the words
Imo, never a proper rock band and should never be taken as such but deserve to be played at all party's if just for the comedy value of the video's the next day
RIP Rick
As for George Michael ..............
Started off as a very shy boy who started a band with his ugly, talentless best mate from school because he was scared to get on the stage on his own.
Ended up selling 100 million records / cd's as a solo artist.
His music might not be your taste (or really mine if i'm honest) but when you get somebody of Aretha Franklin's talent banging on your door, you must be pretty good
Incredibly talented song writer and not a bad voice when it came down to it ............
Shame his "any hole is a goal" and "Charlie" addiction oppsed him up in the end
