Status Quo's legions of fans from around theglobe have been lobbying for the return of Lancaster and Coghlanever since the bassist, Rossi and Parfitt called a truce two yearsago. Their well documented in house conflicts had begun in the mid1980s after founding member, Lancaster launched a legal battleafter being replaced by John 'Rhino' Edwards.
