Francis Rossi Gets Hair Cut

A small part of Beelzebub´s kingdom must have iced over, as Status Quo frontman Francis Rossi has decided to get rid of his pony tail after, oh, many years.

It´s not for larks - or even for Red Nose Day - but he just felt he needed change...

Talking to the good old Sun, he said: "It looked fabulous - I felt like a fashion icon. But in the past few years my hair has got so thin that there's not enough to work into a decent ponytail. A few weeks ago it dawned on me that I looked ridiculous. So I decided to forget about clinging to my youth and that it was time to grow old gracefully."

What he doesn't know about Brian May's playing and, especially, the Red Special, isn't worth knowing.
