Roy Wood joins Status Quo for arena dates

Roy Wood and his band will be joining Status Quo as support on the December Arena dates of Quo's traditional Winter tour of the UK in 2009 [Quo also play shows at 9 theatre venues in November].

The Quo tour follows on from the enormous success of last year's "Pictures: 40 Years Of Hits" album and tickets are available from 0844 576 5483 or www.livenation.co.uk.

Francis Rossi commented, "Like us, Roy Wood certainly knows how to entertain a crowd and we're looking forward to having him on the bill with us. We think that this pairing represents great value as well as promising some great music – see you in December, I'll be the one with the newly short hair!".
