And it was one of the best yet!!

Peter Freestone, Clayton Moss, Barry Mitchell and Nigel, who brought along Roger’s drum kit from the 2008 QPR tour, were just some of the fantastic guests!!! And I got to play Roger’s drum kit!!

All the photos are here!

Robbie Williams was there, along with Ant from Ant and Dec, Anthony Costa from Blue and loads of people from Corrie!

Interview with Roger and Rufus : http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/showbiz/s/1104959_diary_roger_drums_it_in

The first night of WWRY in Manchester was a quiet affair but was great none the less!

I couldn’t see anyone else clapping in Radio Ga Ga but everyone seemed to be standing up at the end! I was gutted as I didn’t get to see Jonathon Wilkes but the rest of the cast were great. I really liked the Killer Queen who reminded me of Sharon D Clarke. Britney and Pop were also great! Rufus sounded great on drums, particularly in Under Pressure. There were a few strange noises coming from the band but I expect it was just first night nerves.

And it was great to see Martin and his fiancée!

And we spotted Jamie Oliver walking past the theatre about an hour before the show!

We had lunch in the Hard Rock Cafe before the show and they had loads of new Queen stuff in there!

UK release date is Friday 20th March and the US NTSC versions being issued later in the year on August 18th.

The tracklist is packed with the classic songs that made Queen one of the world’s favourite bands – a group so popular that they sold more than 300 million albums and had a worldwide hit musical created in their honour, We Will Rock You. Bohemian Rhapsody and We Are the Champions are there – as are Another One Bites the Dust and Don’t Stop Me Now. Whichever track is your favourite, you’ll be lining up to grab the mic and step into the trainers of the legendary Freddie Mercury to raise your living room roof.

With stellar tracks from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s (25 tracks on PS3) SingStar Queen will rock SingStars who like to go solo, SingStars who like to duet and, quite possibly, the neighbours next door when they hear your performances coming through the wall.

And – for those PS3 SingStars downloading tracks from SingStore, loads of SingStar Queen Tracks are available to download right now!
