23rd September 2005: Rock band Status Quo drop by the Rovers Return Inn for a few drinks. Les Battersby is one of their biggest fans but he refuses to believe Chesney Brown when told about their presence in the Street. He's apparently too late to catch them, noticing their van just as they drive away, but they quickly drive back, as Les has been recognised by singer Francis Rossi as the fan who attacked him during a gig in the 1980s which caused him sustain a neck injury giving him permanent whiplash. Rossi punches Les for the years of pain he has endured, and fellow band member Rick Parfitt also punches him for the pain of him having to listen to Rossi constantly moan about the injury. Les's fiance Cilla Brown is determined to sue the band but much to her horror Les turns down a cash settlement, opting to have the band play at their wedding instead.
