Rossi 'Worries' About Parfitt Bond

Status Quo rocker Francis Rossi often worries about the amount of time he spends with bandmate Rick Parfitt - because their professional relationship has outlasted all of his love affairs.

Rossi co-founded the band while at school in 1962, and recruited Parfitt two years later. The British rockers have released a staggering 28 studio albums, and have sold over 118 million records worldwide.

And Rossi admits he has hardly had any time apart from Parfitt in the last 40 years - and the thought sometimes scares him.

 He tells Britain's Daily Express, "We've been together a long time and know each each other very well but sometimes that's to our detriment. "When we tour abroad we're usually seated next to each other on the plane.

When we tour Britain we eat at the same time in the afternoon. We arrive at venues together, we do promos together. On tour our rooms are usually next to each other.

It's been like that since we were 17. I haven't been with a woman that long. The more I get asked about our relationship the more it makes me worry. Is it all right? Well, it might not be. I don't know."
