A statement on John Coghlan’s official Facebook page confirms that the 75-year-old will call it a day once he’s completed a farewell tour with his Status Quo offshoot band John Coghlan’s Quo.
It reads: “After an incredible career
spanning 60 years, former Status Quo drummer John Coghlan has finally decided
to hang up his drumsticks.
“John and his band John Coghlan’s Quo will be playing a series of dates this year giving fans the opportunity to see John onstage for the last time!”
Coghlan left Status Quo in 1981, however
alongside Alan Lancaster he rejoined Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt in Status
Quo in 2013 for the Frantic Four Reunion Tour in the UK and Europe, which
continued into 2014.
