Status Quo's Rick Parfitt Has Suspected Heart Attack

(Classic Rock) Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt is being treated in a Turkish hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack. He fell ill following the band's performance in the country after performing at the Antalya Expo Wednesday night (June 15).

His condition is described as serious, although a press release states that Parfitt has "already demanded his customary cup of tea with two sugars and a sweetener."

Quo manager Simon Porter adds: "No further comment will be made at this stage until the completion of the next round of tests and assessments to be made over the next few days. We would ask you to respect the family's privacy at this difficult time." Read more here.
