Bugger!

Dates for the new Queen gigs have just been announced and can you believe they've put them right smack bang in the middle of October when I'll be in Australia? Argh! They are in Europe during September as well but it's kind of a busy time for me what with my 40th birthday and going on holiday, plus the extra cost and taking more days off work, it just can't be done. I'm so disappointed because even without the late and great Freddie Mercury, I'm betting it would be a fantastic experience.

I watched the Queen live in Montreal dvd today and I'm always totally in awe of them, especially Freddie. What an amazingly talented entertainer he was - would be hard to beat in my eyes (except maybe Elvis)! I wasn't so much of a fan when he was alive sadly, so I very much regret not seeing Queen on stage back then. Funny how artists come 'alive' and strike such a chord with you after they have passed.

Hopefully there'll be another chance some other time.
