"The songs of Queen are to be turned into a stage musical.
Guitarist Brian May said the band was working with playwright Ben Elton on the show."

...or, further travesties in Western Civilisation.
This is news to me. The kind of news you get when you DON'T want to hear that one of your close relatives has just died in a freak gardening accident.
I personally hope this flops like a high jumping bastard. I cannot see this working at all. Aside from some lurid party exploits and the tragic ending, there ain't much story...but it's true that's never stopped musical writers before. I mean, c'mon, be honest! Starlight Express?!?
And that FOUL urchin Elton writing LYRICS?!?!?! How the hell is he going to fit "Oo-er! Little bit of Politics!!" into a song??
No, no, no! This mustn't happen. It's bad enough the Taleban is blowing up Buddhas in Afghanistan, but this is the end of our world...

Absolutely true. Lyrics by Ben Elton and everything.
I don't know whether to laugh, cheer or cry...love Queen, love Ben Elton but to watch the humiliation of a musical with huge potential to bomb...
Oh well, I'll still love Brian May the next morning :-)
