Anyone in the US who was around then must surely remember Pictures of Matchstick Men--it was a mega-hit over here. For decades I never heard of them again until I was playing "Whatever happened to . . . " [groups/artists I remember from back then] and stumbled onto some Status Quo concerts/videos on YouTube. I was amazed to learn they were still rocking all those decades later and definitely enjoyed what I heard in the videos. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane_B. Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I never knew the names of the guys in the group but I knew some of their music. Everyone, well, everyone of a certain age and above, knows Pictures Of Matchstick Men over here. Sad to hear he's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
