Aftershow News: 11th July 2012

Queen with Adam Lambert live at Hammersmith Apollo,London. I was here in the circle bar from 10.45pm for 90 mins. Around 150 folks here but as usual it is a pay bar. There are a few faces here.Nice to see Black Sabbath guitar legend Tony Iommi,also Bob Geldof and Matt Lucas.They only stay for a few mins as Brian May's personal security guy takes them backstage.After some 30 mins Brian May,Roger Taylor and band members like Spike Edney all turn up.Also here is Brian's other half Anita Dobson and Freddie Mercury's sister.I have a few words with Brian May who really is a diamond geezer. He is always so friendly when you talk to him. Roger Taylor also has a personal security guy with him. Oddly no sign of Adam Lambert here. I must mention a nice chat i had with a Queen fan from Argentina who has come over to London just to see these three shows.He also had a ticket for the Poland show a few days ago but his train was delayed in Prague so missed the gig. Respect to the hardcore gig goers. A nice party.
