Queen at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ

Here are the band talking to presenters about their latest releases, performances and airplay on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. We will also hear radio sessions recorded for Bob Harris and John Peel

As we celebrate Roger Taylor’s 75th birthday, here he is, with his fellow band members and friends in Queen, talking to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ presenters and being played on vinyl and in session at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.

From the first moments of their long and successful career onwards, John Peel, Tom Browne, Tommy Vance, Simon Bates, Mike Read, Johnnie Walker and Bob Harris have interviewed Freddie Mercury, John Deacon, Brian May and Roger.

They talk about their latest releases, live performances, how they recorded and composed classics like Bohemian Rhapsody and the excitement about their first plays on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ radio and television shows like The Old Grey Whistle Test. After the tragic death of Freddie Mercury we also hear what he would have wanted them to do and their work at his Wembley Stadium tribute concert.
