Background
Backbone is the first album released by the band since the death of rhythm guitarist Rick Parfitt, who had featured on every prior Status Quo album. Speaking about the album in a press release, frontman Francis Rossi expressed both pride in the content and sadness regarding Parfitt's lack of involvement, saying "This new material had to be seriously good. Quo have achieved so much and meant so much to too many people for the quality to slip now [...] Losing Rick was hard to bear but, through Richie Malone, who was inspired to pick up a guitar by him, we can not only keep going but actually pick up the pace." He concluded: "I wasn't sure I had another album in me but I couldn't be more proud of Backbone."[1] The album was dedicated to Rick Parfitt: "This album is dedicated to the memory of Rick Parfitt OBE (1948-2016)".
The title track was released on 12 July 2019 as the first single, with a promo video.[1] The second single, "Liberty Lane", was released on 9 August 2019[4] and a video for the single was later released in September.[5] The band had started playing "Liberty Lane" and "Cut Me Some Slack" live a month before the album was announced,[6] generating excitement for the new release,[7] which is notable for being one of the few times the band have toured new music before release.
