I was hoping that Queen musical was a JOKE!

Looks like it opens on the 15th of May, get tickets here...

BUT NO! From our ticket shop:

ROBERT DE NIRO presents WE WILL ROCK YOU by QUEEN and BEN ELTON

Everywhere, the kids watch the same movies, wear the same fashions and think the same thoughts. It's a safe, happy Ga Ga world. Unless you're a rebel. Unless you want to rock. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned. The Company Computers generate the tunes and the kids download them. It is an age of Boy Bands and of Girl Bands.

But resistance is growing. Underneath the gleaming cities, down in the lower depths live the Bohemians. Rebels who believe that there was once a Golden Age when the kids formed their own bands and wrote their own songs. They call that time, The Rhapsody. Legend persists that somewhere on Planet Mall instruments still exist. Somewhere, the mighty axe of a great and hairy guitar god lies buried deep in rock. The Bohemians need a hero to find this axe and draw it from stone.

It features 31 of QUEEN's greatest songs, including Killer Queen, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are The Champions, It's A Kind Of Magic, Radio Ga Ga, Somebody To Love, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You.

He Will Rock You

Met John Deacon, added Queen...

Bitch Aid (the www.popbitch.com server appeal party) was a raging success last night, and literally LOADED with celebs. Well sort of. John Deacon was there, so in his honour, popEx now has it's second band starting with "Q"...

The early stages of the event were filmed by someone, and every showbiz type journalist in the world was there... if you've read anything about it in today's papers, post it up here!

The tunes were ace, in an "ironic rock" stylee (as favoured by Uncle Bob's, Radio Four, Club Beer etc), let's hope there's another bash soon...

Apologies to anyone who got a text message off me saying "IJUST MET JOEY DEACON" at about 2am this morning, I was very, very drunk.
