Alan Lancaster RIP

[IanHenry]

Sadly Alan Lancaster, the original Bass player with Status Quo has passed away.

 I'm guessing that the majority of members of this forum aren't very familiar with Status Quo,  but in the U.K they've had over sixty top forty hit during their long career.

Alan always looked more like a truck driver than a rock star but he always had an undeniable "presence" on stage.

Alan left Status Quo during their heyday in 1985 and moved to Australia, however the band did have a reunion of the original members in about 2013.

Here's some film of that reunion:

   

      RIP Alan

So sad. Neverthless;

They enjoyed that, and so did I.

He was in a mainly covers band called the Party Boys (yeah, I know...) here in Oz and I saw them a couple of times in the late 80's including opening for AC/DC.

I'm sure he would have had a lot of fun times over the years, so, well played Alan.

I only remember them from this tune heard often in '68.  Liked the tune, but couldn't find their LP anywhere 'round here so gave up after a while.  Sionce then I don't recall hearing anything else by them and figured they were a one hit wonder.  

But as this original member died at 72, shows how much time passes and how quickly.  Too bad and sad.  RIP, Alan.

Didn`t like it when Coghlan left but.......

I don`t listen to what the Quo recorded after Alan left.

RIP Alan.
