I Talk Too Much: My Autobiography
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'THE ROCK 'N' ROLL AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR' MAIL ON SUNDAY'Essential for fans and great reading for anyone else' Classic RockBreak-ups, make-ups, groupies, band politics, court battles, the tragic death of Rick Parfitt . . . This is Francis Rossi as you have never seen him before.Status Quo have sold over 100 million records worldwide, including 65 hit singles and 32 hit albums. The legendary band's career has mirrored the evolution of rock music. From the struggles of the flower-power '60s, the highs of the denim-clad '70s, the coke- and tequila-induced blur of the '80s, to fighting for musical integrity in the '90s and '00s and a fresh lease of life from new band members in recent years, Rossi has been there for the entirety of Quo's turbulent history.In I Talk Too Much, Rossi will reveal the truth behind one of the biggest rock bands of all time, as well as the personal highs and lows of a career spanning over 50 years. He lifts the lid on the man behind the music - from humble beginnings in Forest Hill and being labelled a has-been by the press in his twenties to opening Live Aid in 1985 - and why he's still going strong at seventy. Along the way he has fathered eight children with three mothers and beaten both alcoholism and cocaine addiction. Rossi comes clean about the time he almost left the band, what he really thinks about the music industry today and the complexities of his fifty-year friendship with Rick Parfitt.Painfully honest, riotously funny and frequently outrageous, I Talk Too Much covers the glory years, the dark days and the real stories behind the creation of some of the greatest rock music of all time.

I’ve read a few rock star autobiographies already this year and I have to say that ‘I Talk Too Much’ by Francis Rossi of Status Quo has been my favourite.
I wouldn’t say I was a big Quo fan, but have thoroughly enjoyed some of their stuff over the many years and it was really interesting to hear about the ups and quite few downs of their career as told with no punches pulled or glossing over but with from the heart honesty by Rossi.
Quo have been going for a long time so there is a lot to cover from the excesses of the 70 and 80’s to the ending and reforming of the group and of course the relationship with Rossi had Rick Parfitt, but it never drags and is the proverbial page turner.
Rossi’s own personal battles with not only the band, but drugs, alcohol, love life and an addictive nature , is well documented, but it’s the trials and tribulations of the hard fought battles to defeat his demons, and defeat them he has, that is inspiring. Like Quo, Rossi is a survivor and considering he has just released his second album he has no intention of stopping Rocking All Over The World. (sorry, couldn't resist!)
As I say, a really enjoyable read and I’m already digging out the double denim and listening to some Quo stuff I've obviously missed.

I’ve been a huge Quo fan for years. I’ve seen them live so many times I’ve lost count. I used to be in the fan club & read what Francis said in the fan club magazines. These gave me a view of who I thought Francis was. Reading his autobiography has given me a different perspective. One of not just the rock star but the man himself. I’ve only met him once, when I bought this book and got him to sign it after his show. He held his hand to me to shake, not me to him. I was pleasantly surprised but this is the man Francis is and having read the book, I fully see that.

I’ve been a Status Quo fan since the early seventies, and while I haven’t seen them live since 1980, I’ve always loved their music. Having said that, I did feel a little sceptical about reading this book, as whenever I saw them interviewed, Rossi often came across as a bit aloof compared to the laidback Rick Parfitt. And of course, there was all that criticism of Francis in the press after Rick died. However, the formidable frontman does seem to have laid down a fairly honest and open account of the ups and downs of life in the band, as well as lifting the lid on his own demons (of which there were many). Through his years snorting coke and knocking back bottles of Tequila, to the on/off in-fighting between band members, particularly the disagreements between himself and Alan Lancaster, Francis Rossi tells the story of his life, his relationship with Rick and of course the history of Status Quo.
The book is written in a style that’s pretty much the way the man himself talks, so it’s an easy read, though may be a bit of an eyeopener for anyone who isn’t too familiar with the band’s history. It also goes into great detail about the time leading up to and following Rick’s death, a section which I have to admit, was very hard to read. In some ways the book explains why fans accused Rossi of not caring about his bandmate, but in my humble opinion, what comes across quite clearly, is that aside from the rows and back-biting all rock bands are prone to, for the most part, the pair were the closest of friends.
Whether you’re a die-hard original-line-up fan, or are happy to see any format of the Quo team on stage, this is a fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable read.

I wanted to love this book, but I couldn't get past the massive use of drugs he/they wasted their lives, health and money on. I know it goes on in the world of rock and roll, but sheesh, enough! But other than that gripe it was a good absorbing read with Francis' take on his life heading one of the world's top bands.

Honest
Real page turner and a great read with lots of refreshing honesty. They were some band were our Status Quo!

An interesting insight into the life of Francis Rossi, the lead singer of Status Quo, from very early on Francis opens up to some of the issues which drive him. He’s also open and honest about his drink and drug problem. As you can imagine there are many tales of his time with the Quo, some I knew, some I didn’t.

Francis Rossi is the lead guitarist and singer of the very popular and successful British rock band Status Quo. Here is his memoir, refreshingly told in his own words.
Switching from my regular reads in the crime/thriller/mystery genre, I Talk Too Much was quite a surprise. Francis does not write like a regular author and his writing style is very personal. He writes in very long paragraphs which are a shock at first until your brain gets into gear and you slot into his rhythm. His memoir reads like a television chat show guest who is given free reign to tell his story. And boy! What a story it is!
I have seen Status Quo performing on stage many times but that was a very long time ago! What I loved about this book was the way Francis told his story, it was riveting. I feel that you do not need to be a fan to enjoy his book. If you simply like books that deal with people doing their day jobs, then you should get a lot from this autobiography.
Francis is now 70 years old and his memoir gives a lovely perspective on things. You get a mature view on life, love and work. I got a lot from this and found the whole book entertaining. I Talk Too Much was simply a joy to read. I think it is a wonderful memoir.
I liked how Francis was very frank about his life. He writes about his failings and mistakes. His is very honest and lists his regrets. He writes about women, sex and drugs. He writes about marriage and having children. He is very open about his use of cocaine.
I loved how Francis’s personality shone through his memoir in the way he told his anecdotes, for example…
Meanwhile, as a teenager I did more of less become part of Alan’s family. For better of worse. The Lancasters were an archetypal hard-as-nails old south London family from Peckham. They had a black cat called Nigger.
And…
Jean had always kept me from meeting her mum before we were married. Now I found out why. The woman could be very difficult. It was as though she had leapt straight from the pages of a Les Dawson joke about mothers-in-law. She would sit slumped in the armchair, chain smoking, with her old fashioned dress pulled up around her hips so that you could see her big old-lady knickers and she would do the most evil-smelling farts. Much to her poor daughter’s annoyance and embarrassment.
I liked how Francis explained the changing dynamics within Status Quo and how the music business works. Status Quo worked very hard over the decades and were famous for always touring. Francis and his band really put the hours in, the concerts were more than promotional tours for a new record but a way of life. Francis has moved with the times and how the music business is very different now to the 1970’s. I loved his comments about recorded music formats when he wrote…
I know they keep banging on about the so-called vinyl revival, but that’s like saying people still make black-and-white movies. It’s a fetish. A cult. Nice if you are into it, meaningless to almost everybody else.
I loved this book and think it is an OUTSTANDING 5 star read. It has an intimacy that makes you feel as though he is a mate sitting next to you. When you reach the end, you are left in no doubt that Francis knows all about his day job and the really important things in life.

At last a rock autobiography that is warts and all honest detailing the frictions highs and lows of a top band. Status Quo have been a fixture in the UK since the 60’s. Francis Rossi is an honest and engaging writer he details the decades and the changes of how the music industry has impacted on his group . The real stories behind the splits, the drink the drugs the groupies and the addictions. The fight to stay relevant and hold a career in changing times and life after the death of Rick Parfitt and the future of Quo. The current band having been together longer than Quo mark1 which finished in the early 80s. He puts right a lot of public misconceptions and I think gives a real insider view of survival in the music business.

Brilkiant read, interesting, honest and open. A great story behind the scenes, both fun and sad

Well done Francis. I find the man an inspiration. This is not a book to make himself look good, in fact it probably does the opposite. An honest and refreshing account.

I really enjoyed this book well written I learned a lot about status quo brought back memories of when I used to work on their cars back in the 1980s you don’t need to be a fan to enjoy

Warm and honest. A book for all Quo fans.
December 27, 2021
A decent read if you're a fan, but it's lacking in any really interesting insights into the band in their glory years of the 1970's. This is unfortunately due to Rossi being out of his gourd on cocaine through it all, which he constantly mentions to the point of monotony. "1978 we toured such and such a place... I have no memory of it though, I was out of my brain on cocaine." "1985 we played Live Aid, I stayed backstage for the whole show but I have no memory of it because I was out of my brain on cocaine". Riveting stuff, not.
Sadly the only clear memories he has of the band is during their awful transformation into a showbiz act post-Lancaster, detailing all the hideous crimes against integrity and good taste they committed in the 90's and early 2000's, with press junkets to Butlins, inviting the press along to his hair transplant operation, horrendous cover albums with duets featuring the likes of The Beach Boys and Steeleye Span, making records with football teams and appearing on soap operas. I think I'd have preferred the oblivion of class A drugs to be honest. He also evokes the ghosts of Smashey and Nicey with his constant talk of charity shows.
The best parts of the book are his childhood and youth as the son of an Italian ice cream salesman, his formative years as a musician in the early to mid 1960's and his opinions on Rick Parfitt. I admire his honesty regarding his relationship with his lifelong musical partner, he obviously cared a great deal for the guy but was exasperated with him in the later years and doesn't pull any punches with the ups and downs of their time together.
This isn't really enough to regard the book as one of the great rock autobiographies. Too much is lost in the fog of drugs and drink. As a fan who grew up in the 1970's with Quo soundtracking my life along with many other great bands of the era it was worth reading once, but ultimately an empty unsatisfying experience. A bit like Quo's showbiz period. I'd have rated it 2.5 stars but .5's aren't an option, sadly, so I bumped it to 3 for the nostalgic feels their 70's music gives me.

I love Status Quo and have seen them live a few times. I really wanted to read this, but was worried that the author would say something to make me not like him anymore!! I've never heard his story however, so was willing to take the risk. The first couple of pages I did think I'd made a mistake however. It begins with the author talking about leaving the group and I found all the "I'm better than them, I can do it on my own, I don't need them" bravado quite disappointing. However, I persevered and found myself completely hooked into his story.
The author takes you back to his childhood in London, and you follow his life not just through his musical journey, but through the ups and downs of his personal life. Of course, the music part was great, hearing about the songs, the tours (although he never mentioned the concert at Rivermead in Reading (I was there!!) or the comeback tour in Wolverhampton (I was there too!!)) and trying to make it big in America. The most interesting part though was his own personal life. I never realised how badly the drink and drugs got him, and the impact this had on his relationships and family was very sad. I always thought him and his fellow band members, particularly Rick Parfitt were close, but again this book showed how these were affected too.
I was absolutely hooked into the author's story and loved this book. Did it make me not like him anymore? Maybe some of his self assuming attitude in parts was a little off putting, but if anything I found myself liking him more by the end. If you can be like him but manage to pull your life back round, then you deserve the admiration I had of him after I finished reading this book. He made me cry, he made me laugh and he brought back some great memories. Would definitely recommend.

A Decent Read For Fans But Maybe Not For Anyone Else
Been a Quo fan all my life and reading this confirms what I've always thought about Francis Rossi - he's driven and dedicated, but also difficult. The thing is, he knows it.
It's an entertaining read but he does skip over a lot of stuff that longtime fans may have wanted more information on, such as John Coghlan leaving the band. It's covered but not in any great detail. Same with Jeff Rich and John Edwards joining the band, and drummer Matt Letley leaving the band isn't even mentioned. Granted, it isn't a Status Quo biography but you get the feeling Rossi and ghost writer Mick Wall just wanted to get to Rick Parfitt's death as quickly as they could so Rossi can lay out how he handled it, which he does in an upfront and honest way without sugarcoating it.
Naturally, if you're a Quo fan then you're going to read it anyway but if you're not remotely interested in them or Rossi as an individual then there's not a lot here that will sway you.

Well this is an eye opener! A frank and honest memoir from a true rock star. Shocking at times, funny, but also heart warming.
Rossi really gets across what it is like to live the rock star lifestyle; the gruelling tours, unavoidable tensions between band members, the groupies, drugs, alcohol, the long suffering wives, children.
Thankfully Francis Rossi was smart enough to see that he needed to sort himself out, and he did.
What really comes across though is the humility of the man. Under the tough facade is a complex character but he calls a spade a spade, takes no prisoners and above all, knows the difference between right and wrong and with the wisdom of age has been able to put right some of the wrongs from the past. A great bloke!

Brutally honest, I had heard a few songs from Status Quo, but never in my dreams had I thought this would be the roller coaster that the bands had to go through in those times.
This one goes deep into evrything related to the band. The few highs and a lot of lows. Most of the band image boils down to the Manager, whether he wants to focus on just showbiz or more on substance.
Personal opinion, Francis Rossi has Italian blood in him so sometimes he does try to do things in the extreme, for example coke.
My first deep dive into the world of Rock, how it used to work and a part of how it still does.
Recommended for Rock music lovers!

You do not need to be a Status Quo fan to read this. You are drawn initially to the fascination of being a rocknroll life and you gaze through a glass window into the life and times of Francis Rossi, then you take a step back and see your own reflection in that same glass window. The sheer honesty and humanness of his writing and that essential truth that humility and pride are part of us all is reassuring.
Like Quo do not underestimate this read, the messages will linger long after you close the cover.

Like any biography, really, this is a great read if you’re interested in the person. It’s written pretty much in the same “voice” as he uses when being interviewed, so it has a mumbling quality at times, but it works. I’d have liked it if there was a bit more about the Frantic Four reunion, as the second tour (which was far better musically than the first) hardly gets a mention. There’s a massive emphasis on his relationship with Rick Parfitt throughout, which I suppose is to be expected.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Fantastic and Frank book
A Quo Dan for many years and having read several books on the band this one is the real deal. As close as a person can get to understanding the ups and downs of a rock and roll band. Rossi comes across as a driven individual with facilities like the rest of us but with a need to be creative. If you aren't a fan but are interested in music this easy read will easily satisfy.

Hilarious, sad, crazy & well worth a read.
Disclaimer - I'm a massive Quo/Rossi fan so am very biased in my opinion.
Love this book, open, honest, really funny in places & so sad to learn some of the things that happened over the years too.
You read the press stories & the published gossip, but this book gives you the perspective from the person who lived the life.
For me, an excellent read

Hugely enjoyable autobiography by Rossi who is very open and honest on his own part, whilst being respectfully critical of colleagues over the years.
This is an easy, if occasionally uncomfortable, read that leaves a feeling of surprise that the excess of the 70's and the 80's were survived, alongside a sense of pleasure that Rossi was able to rebuild his life and career.

A good read for any Quo fan
Obviously only one view point, but seams honest and balanced enough to be believable. It’s amazing what goes on behind closed doors, much of we as fans never get to see or hear

I love a good rock n roll biog. Status Quo were my first ever live gig at the Brighton Centre in ‘91. This is a proper warts n’ all job with very little held back. Highly recommended if you enjoy a bit of the Quo. I just wish it wasn’t too late to hear Rick’s side of the story.

Oh no quo.
I. Was a quo fan back in the day and thought they were together as a band,but all that time together and a clash of personalities meant it could never last.but a fascinating read on how they started up and very sad one way or another.

The story of a reformed rocker
Interesting read. Francis Rossi has gone from a rock bad boy to clean living rock legend. It's a compelling story told in a relaxed way where scores are settled gently and Francis keeps you engaged throughout.
