Rossi loses "ridiculous" ponytail

Status Quo's Francis Rossi has cut off the ponytail he wore for 35 years, saying it looked ridiculous as his hair thinned.

In what may be the most significant hair cutting move in MOR rock history, Status Quo's Francis Rossi has lopped off the ponytail he has sported for the last 35 years.

Rossi told The Sun exclusively: "It looked fabulous - I felt like a fashion icon. But in the past few years my hair has got so thin that there's not enough to work into a decent ponytail. A few weeks ago it dawned on me that I looked ridiculous. So I decided to forget about clinging to my youth and that it was time to grow old gracefully".
