It's no secret that one of my favourite bands was and always will be Queen. I'm lucky enough to have seen them in concert three times - 1980, '84 and '86 and when Freddie died I assumed that would be that.
Now it would appear that the band will rise again - and I do not refer to the we Will Rock You musical, which I want no interest whatsoever. There's a message on Brian May's website saying that Queen will tour in April 2005, with vocals provided by former Free/Bad Company frontman Paul Rodgers.
This raises a bit of a quandary: should I go, or would I do better to leave my memories well enough alone? Paul Rodgers isn't Freddie Mercury - obviously, there isn't going to be another one of those! He is however, a very good singer and in fact I've seen him in concert as a support to Status Quo, back in the '90s.
This could be worth a flutter...
