His manager, Simon Porter, and Parfitt’s family said in a statement that Parfitt died in a hospital in Marbella, Spain, on Saturday from a severe infection. “We are truly devastated to have to announce that Status Quo guitarist Rick Parfitt has passed away at lunchtime today,” the statement read, asking for privacy for the family and the band. It said he had been looking forward to starting a solo career after he stopped touring with the band because of medical issues, including a heart attack he suffered earlier this year. The statement said Parfitt had been hospitalized since Thursday due to complications from an earlier shoulder injury stemming from a fall. The band’s website said Parfitt was known as “The Womorr,” which stands for “the wild old man of rock and roll.” He wrote some of Status Quo’s best known songs including “Whatever You Want” and “Backwater.” The website said he had become “mild” over the years. The band played together for decades. Parfitt was known for his slashing style, often played on his signature 1965 white Fender Telecaster or other similar models. Parfitt divided his time between Spain and London. Porter said Parfitt is survived by his wife Lyndsay and four children: Tommy, Lily, Harry and Rick Jr., who took to Twitter after his father’s death: I cannot describe the sadness I feel right now. To many he was a rockstar, to me he was simply 'Dad', and I loved him hugely.

Searchers early Saturday morning located the mother who had walked approximately 26 miles in search of help before taking refuge in a seasonally closed Grand Canyon National Park guard shack, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said. Other searchers rescued the father and the couple’s 10-year-old son Friday afternoon after they hiked to an area where they found cellphone service to call for help, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. Karen Klein was conscious and communicating when found but suffering from cold exposure, while Eric Klein and the couple’s son also are being treated for cold exposure, including frostbite, the statement said. The family’s hometown wasn’t immediately available, and personnel at Dixie Regional Medical Center in St. George, Utah, where they were taken for treatment declined to put through a reporter’s call. Hospital spokeswoman Terri Draper did not immediately return a call for comment. The family had rented a car in Las Vegas, about 170 miles west of the national park’s main facilities, and headed for the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, where the Arizona Department of Transportation seasonally closes the access highway each winter due to snowfall. Heeding directions of their vehicle’s GPS system, the got stuck on a national forest road amid heavy snowfall, the sheriff’s statement said. The statement said Karen Klein, who was wearing a parka and knit cap, then set off on the foot for help. A Grand Canyon National Park spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and it was not immediately known whether there was anything in the closed guard shack that would have provided heat or other help.
