The Sun, 28 October 2005
WHATEVER you make of Paul Rodgers stepping in to Freddie Mercury's shoes to front Queen on tour, you have to admit he's pretty good at it. And since Queen are still as popular as ever, despite the fact that frontman Freddie died nearly 14 years ago, there's still a huge market for shows like this.
This particular leg of the tour takes place in Sheffield and the band are in fine form during this energetic set, mainly made up of greatest hits.
Every song -from upbeat tracks like Radio Gaga, to epics such as We Are The Champions and, of course, the unforgettable Bohemian Rhapsody -is a crowd pleaser.
And when Freddie himself appears on screen to sing along with the band, it could almost be 25 years ago when Queen were at their peak.
The songs still sound just as fresh, the audience is just as captivated -and Brian May's hair hasn't changed.
