Francis Rossi – The Accidental 2026

“The Accidental” by Francis Rossi, due on January 30, 2026 via earMUSIC on CD, LP, and digital formats, comes as something of a surprise. It was certainly a surprise to Francis, who had no plans to record an album. “This truly came out of nowhere,” says Rossi. “I spend my life in and out of the studio, rehearsing, tinkering, but something happened earlier this year and, before I knew it, we had created something special.”

While Rossi’s previous solo albums explored his love for acoustic ballads, vocal harmonies, and the blend of British rock with country influences, this album, his first in seven years, marks a true return to the energetic, guitar-driven sound that made him a legend with STATUS QUO. “The Accidental” sees Rossi playing to his strengths, but taking risks, cutting loose, and exploring new territory. This album is all about old bones and fresh blood…
