"Aquostic II – That's a Fact!" is the thirty-second studio album by English rock band Status Quo, released on October 21, 2016. This album marks the last appearance of guitarist and vocalist Rick Parfitt before his death in December 2016. The album features Hannah Rickard as a violinist and background singer.
Originally announced with the subtitle "One More for the Road," reflecting the band's ongoing acoustic tour, it was later changed to "That's a Fact," named after a rerecorded track from their 1976 album "Blue For You." This album serves as a sequel to the successful "Aquostic – Stripped Bare" (2014), showcasing popular Status Quo songs reimagined in acoustic arrangements with classical instruments and a female backing ensemble.
In addition to revisited classics, "Aquostic II" includes three new songs: "One for the Road" and "One of Everything" on the standard edition, and "Is Somebody Rocking Your Heart," exclusive to the deluxe edition. The album features singles "Hold You Back" and "That's a Fact," both released for promotional purposes.
Overall, "Aquostic II" continues to highlight Status Quo's musical evolution while celebrating their rich catalog in an acoustic format.
