In most cases Roger and Brian were ever present in the band, with Spike Edney on keys.

Look out for a fuller write up later (if I can!) or tomorrow morning, but we had Ben Elton, Rhys Thomas + Roger, Stephen Fry and Paul Gambaccini all on the stage prior to the band. We also had a cake and an auction.

'Being in Queen was a privilege'
As drummer Roger Taylor hints that Queen may re-form for the Olympics, he talks about why he so fiercely protects the band’s legacy.

quote:

He also raised the possibility that Queen’s surviving members may reunite for a one-off concert at the London Olympics.

quote:

In between these events, Taylor spends time at his home studio working on songs at what he cheerfully acknowledges to be a slower pace than in the past. His commitment to the Queen legacy is as fierce as ever: he vetoed 40 Years of Queen being serialised in, or sold to, any publication owned by News International. This stems back to intrusive pictures taken by The Sun in 1991, showing Freddie Mercury, ravaged by Aids and near the end of his life. The indignation still burns bright in Taylor’s eyes.

quote:

As for his own ambitions, there are not many mountains left that he wants to climb, apart from a vague desire to dispel the notion, rife both in print and online, that he has a double-barrelled surname.

“There is no hyphen in Meddows Taylor,” he insists. “The Meddows part is just a family middle name that my sister shares with me. “That said, there’s not much I can do about it and, after all, trying to get rid of a hyphen is a bit of a trivial goal, isn’t it?”

quote:

So there’s no part of him that wishes he had carried on studying at medical school?

“Absolutely no way at all!” he laughs. “Being a dentist would have been hell. Doing what I’ve done has been a privilege.”

quote:

While he says that headlines about him being suicidal in the aftermath of Mercury’s death are overblown, May is candid about his struggle with depression. “It is something I’ve lived with in my life and at certain periods I got it bad. I’m not sure how many times, perhaps four, but then, about 15 years ago, I decided I had to get treatment.”

May took himself to Cottonwood Clinic in Tuscon, Arizona, “and threw away the key. All that mattered was getting better because otherwise I was no good to anyone. And so slowly I rebuilt my life and re-emerged as a different person.”
