About Alan Lancaster
Alan Charles "Nuff" Lancaster was an English musician, best known as a founding member and bassist of the rock band Status Quo, playing with the band from 1967 to 1985, with brief reunions in 2013 and 2014. As well as contributing to songwriting, he was also one of the lead vocalists on albums and live concerts, taking the lead on tracks such as "Backwater", "Is There a Better Way", "Bye Bye Johnny", "High Flyer" and "Roadhouse Blues". With classmates Alan Key (drums) and Jess Jaworski (keyboards), the pair formed a band called The Paladins, who played their first gig at the Samuel Jones Sports Club in Dulwich. They reformed for Live Aid, but Lancaster's relationship with Francis Rossi became increasingly strained when Rossi and Rick Parfitt covertly began recording a new album under the name of "Status Quo".
