Francis Rossi, founder of the mighty Quo, is gearing up for a busy 2019. Rossi, a bona fide musical legend, has confirmed the release of a collaborative album with vocalist Hannah Rickard, a brand new autobiography written with Mick Wall, and a spoken word UK tour that will see him and Wall tour the country discussing his Quo guitarists illustrious career and taking questions from fans. We Talk Too Much is the title of the album by Rossi / Rickard the pair met when Hannah Rickard worked with Status Quo on the hugely successful Aquostic projects. Reconnecting with one of Rossis true loves, this is a collection of Country-flavoured duets and is due for release 15 March 2019 via earMUSIC. Featuring all brand-new material, and boasting writing credits for Rossi and Rickard as well as Quo stalwart Bob Young, this album has been a true labour of love. The new autobiography, I Talk Too Much, is to be published by Little, Brown on 14 March 2019. This gripping brand-new book has been created in conjunction with award-winning writer and broadcaster Mick Wall, who has sold more than 1 million books. In this explosive new memoir, the famously indiscreet Rossi reveals the true-life stories behind his unbelievable career. Painfully honest at times, the book covers the glory years, the dark days, the ups and downs of his relationship with the late Rick Parfitt and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time. Rossiwill share the extraordinary secrets of his 50-plus years in rocknroll when he takes to the stage for an intimate evening at 36 theatres across the UK. Kicking off on 20 March 2019 in Whitley Bay and culminating on 20 May in Kings Lynn, the I Talk Too Much tour, will feature Francis - joined by Mick Wall - sharing some of the best Rock n Roll stories ever, accrued during an extraordinary life on the road. Expect laughter, revelations, tales involving some of the giants of music, exclusive video clips, snatches of classic tunes and a great night out.Rossi said: This show is something new for me. It will be live and unscripted, so god knows what could happen! One things for sure though, itll be a white-knuckle ride for me, but fans will get a real unvarnished insight into whats happened over the years. Ill be taking a guitar along to demonstrate how some of those Quo classics came into being, and hopefully well take a few questions from the audience too. Its been quite a journey, theres a lot to share. 2019 will be a year like no other: with an album, book and tour, Francis Rossi has truly stretched himself creatively but is also connecting as never before with the loyal fanbase built up over fifty years of creating history with Quo. Honest to a fault and always good company, I Talk Too Much is aptly named, dont miss Francis Rossi spilling the beans as never before!
