Zen, now is possibly the time that I mention that I HATE Queen, let me explain….
Must of been ’84 or 5 Rod Stewart announced his sanction busting tour and came over to Sun City, I booked goodness knows how many hotel rooms on different dates, queued overnight got half a dozen tickets, cancelled the hotel nights that I didn’t need, my mates flew up from Cape Town, we drove up to Sun City, it was the performance that Elton John appeared with him, and had an unbelievable weekend. I could go on but won’t.
Did the same thing when Queen announced their tour, booked the hotels, queued for the tickets (same mates from Cape Town) and went to the concert.
Freddy had a sore throat!!!!!!
We were left sitting for over an hour, a single white light shining down on the grand piano, no announcement, nothing, we were eventually told that Freddy had nodules on his throat due to the unusual weather at high altitude! The show was cancelled, no extra performance for us but just cancelled.
We got our ticket prices back, but the airfares up to Jhb, the cost of hotels, the hassle of organising the whole shebang, nothing, Fuck Freddy and Queen, I threw all my records away and have never bought or listened to another since.
Lol.
Howzit Toc, I guess you know how I feel 😉
Mega pissed off I guess.
Precisely, with a capital ‘F’
🙂
Never mind Soutie, you could always blame Freddie…
Boadicea's Chariot 
Brilliant Zen, I’m rocking.
