Commenting on Quo's decision to cease live work after this week, guitarist/vocalist Francis Rossi said that "we feel that everything has to come to an end sometime and this seems like the right time for us...We've all become involved in various other projects outside the band so this gives us more time for those."

However, whilst the quintet don't plan to tour again, they will continue to record together.
