Funeral to be held for Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt
The singer and rhythm guitarist for the British rock'n'roll band died on Christmas Eve aged 68.
The funeral of Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt will take place later today.
Mr Parfitt was a singer, songwriter and rhythm guitarist for the British rock'n'roll band for half a century.
Thursday's private service will take place at Woking Crematorium in Surrey.
The musician died on Christmas Eve aged 68, after suffering from a severe infection while in a Spanish hospital he was staying in due to complications with a shoulder injury.
Parfitt's death followed years of concern over his health, which had seen him stricken by multiple heart attacks and a cancer scare.
He was forced to withdraw from the band after collapsing over the summer.
