Platinum Jubilee: Queen and Paddington!

The Platinum Jubilee for Queen Elizabeth II took place over an incredible four days, and gave us an extra bank holiday for the occasion! One of the biggest highlights of this weekend has to be the Queen appearing with Paddington Bear to kick off the concert on Saturday night with the band Queen opening with We Will Rock You.

I absolutely love the Queen and Royal Family and seeing her go for it with Paddington Bear really was such a joy to behold, having appeared with Daniel Craig’s James Bond back in 2012 really does highlight just how much more they have gotten with the popular culture and quite happy to be part of it all in a positive manner.

God Save the Queen!

Rocketman (2019) Vs Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

It always seems to happen that when we get one film in a certain style we get a few in a very short space of time and that is kinda how it feels with Rocketman coming out this year after Bohemian Rhapsody this year. Both about legends in the music world, Sir Elton John and then Queen led by Freddie Mercury.

Both were around at the same time and started not too far off each other in the crazy 60s music world in the UK. Freddie Mercury (1969-1991 his death) and Elton John (1962-present) both gay men who could not fully be themselves, but on stage the personas they could create were a release. That is certainly something that is put into both films.

Trailer: Bohemian Rhapsody

A lot of things have been around this film as at one point it looked like it wasn’t going to be finished. But here we have the first trailer which is the teaser trailer and I personally think it looks outstanding. Rami Malek taking on the role of the legendary Freddie Mercury and it looks like this film due for release late 2018 looks like it is going to be something special.

Queen + Adam Lambert (Newcastle) 2017

queen-2017-main

Date: Friday 1st December 2017

Venue: Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle

It’s been almost three years since I last saw Adam Lambert grace the stage with rock legends Queen, as it was January 2015 when they last came to Newcastle. That was a truly fantastic show therefore I was very excited to be heading back to see the set up again, wondering what different things they would manage to come up with this time round.

Queen and Adam Lambert – Newcastle 2015

Date: Tuesday 13th January 2015

Venue: Metro Radio Arena (Newcastle, UK)

The best thing about this concert had to be that it didn’t go on sale a year in advance it was a couple of months before the actual date. Which I think should be done more often as you don’t have to wait as long for the gig to actually happen. The very well done performance on New Year’s Eve was at a prime time just a couple of weeks before the UK leg of the European tour started. Newcastle was the opening night of the Tour which again made it even more exciting!

Dame Angela Lansbury

In the last couple of weeks British actress Angela Lansbury became a Dame and met up with the Queen to receive that honour. Such a fantastic achievement for one of Britain’s most famous actresses, who is currently back in the West End at the moment after a very long absence. I am hoping to head down to London sometime next month to see her on stage!
