Frame's got laryngitis apparently:
Status Quo have been forced to postpone their ‘Aquostic’ concert scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday 25th June, at the The Nick Rayns LCR, UEA, Norwich due to illness. Francis Rossi has been diagnosed with laryngitis.
Francis was feeling unwell even before the band played a fantastically well-received headline set on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury last night but after that show it was obvious that there was a problem. Medical opinion was duly sought this morning, with the result that tomorrow’s show cannot go ahead. The band plan to reschedule the show for Thursday 16th November 2017. Tickets will remain valid but any customers with queries should return to their point of purchase. The band are primarily known for their touring and live shows, and the postponement of a show is always a last resort. In this unfortunate instance in particular the situation was totally outside anyone’s control.

He could not complete the tours due to a heart problem which he was not insured against. Colds and general ailments like Francis has contracted would have been fine and were covered. Freddie Edwards cannot stand in now becasue since he signed his record contract he is no longer allowed to play with the band.

Thank god Francis is still insurable. Guess the band were lucky he was still able to do Glasto .. Now let's all hope for mortified (and Francis, naturally), that he'll be fit again in time for Barcelona !

Had a niggling cough and a sore throat since about Thursday. Hope its not catching! Not sure how long something like laryngitis takes to heal. Especially for a singer who will need to put it to the test right away.
