Left Bristol on the 2.30pm train- got phone calls and texts from both Gavin and Vern about Roger on Richard and Judy as I was missing it. Brian didn’t turn up as he was ill- very worrying- hope he is better for the gig tomorrow!!

Got to Gatwick about 5pm and met up with Andy who was also flying out to Cologne but on a different flight 5 mins after me! LOL! We had a couple of drinks in the bar there then I had to go and board my flight- I was so nervous as this was the first time I was ever going to fly on my own! Arrived in Cologne at 9.30pm and found Brigitte and Eliza waiting for me at the airport!!!! Yay! I was telling them about Brian in speedos in Lisbon which made Brigitte take the wrong turning of the motorway! After we got on the right road, Brigitte drove us to the hotel past the musical dome where We Will Rock You Cologne is on!

We went to the hotel and had a few drinks from an outside bar thing. When we were going to sit down at the table, I happened to look over at the hotel entrance and who did I see going through the revolving doors!?! Roger Taylor!!!!!!!!! I actually spotted Justine, his PA first but then I saw a white shirt and I knew it was him! We saw some people up on the first floor of the hotel from outside and were sure it was Roger and Paul with the rest of the band – we saw them head downstairs then they came out the front door and it was just some randoms!!! At around 1am the bar had shut and some more Queen fans had turned up- Matti had been telling us that he had seen Paul Rodgers and some of the rest of the band that day but Brian wasn’t there (which we knew as he was ill- panic!!!) and he hadn’t seen Roger. He had managed to see Mariah Carey 5 times though!! She then actually arrived too so we went to watch her go in to the hotel- she was not very nice to her fans and complained she was cold- put a bloody jumper on then!!!

Jamie and I went to check into the hotel around 1.30am and as we were at the check in desk, Roger walked through the lobby with some blonde women! We asked if Brian was feeling any better and he said ‘Hopefully, I’m sure he’ll be ok’ then disappeared off into the lift!
