Is anyone going to see Queen at the Arena?

It was one of my great regrets never having seen Queen play live, I used to love them but was just a bit too young to have seen them.

Now they've reformed with Paul Rogers from Free but minus John Deacon, I don't know whether to go see them or not, I don't know if it would feel 'right'.

Opinions anyone?

well it certainly wouldn't feel right if freddie mercury was singing!!!

But I saw them twice as a kid - (dad took me he loved them and he was homophobic - i could never understand that)

You'll be lucky to get tickets. We managed to get rear standing tickets only on the day of release, everything else had sold out.

I am going. The music is still great. Of course Freddie is a huge loss but I saw Paul Rodgers play live with Brian May and Roger Taylor on TV recently and it was superb.
Also saw the musical 'We will Rock You'. The music works on all levels

maybe he just liked the music of queen and didnt give 2 hoots if the singer was gay or not

I'm going, can't wait.
