Francis Rossi

The Accidental

£24.99

Released: 30th January 2026. Francis Rossi, co-founder, lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter of the legendary Status Quo, remains one of rock's most charismatic and enduring figures. After six decades of global success and hundreds of millions of records sold worldwide, he is undoubtedly one of the true icons of British rock. The brand-new studio album 'The Accidental' 'truly came out of nowhere', says Rossi. 'Before I knew it, we had created something special'. While Rossi's previous solo albums explored his love for acoustic ballads, vocal harmonies, and the blend of British rock with country influences, this album marks a true return to the energetic, guitar-driven sound that made him a legend with Status Quo. With 'The Accidental', Rossi delivers a bold collection of finely written and arranged songs that blend power, melody, and energy. 'It's loud, the guitars are right to the fore, and there are some great songs', says Francis. The result is a searing yet thoughtful album that proves - even after all these years - Rossi is still at the top of his game.
