TOUGH TIMES FOR QUO AND B.B. & A
BECK, BOGERT AND APPICE and Status Quo were both recently stricken with successive unpleasantness. In the space of half an hour the Beck band's scheduled German, Italian and US concerts were cancelled.
The German ones because of a public servants' strike which closed down concert halls, the Italian ones because of a rock ban on venues and an appearance at the New Orleans Mardi Gras because the event has become the subject of an injunction.
Status Quo's Alan Lancaster attended a reception for the band last week to pick up gold and silver discs and got 'positively' breathalysed on his way home. The next day the band flew to the States where on arrival their car was rammed.
