BRIAN MAY - A TRIBUTE ON HIS 60TH ANIVERSARY - LISBON, JULY 21st 2007

The mythical guitar player from Queen will be 60 years old on July 19th. In order to celebrate the occasion, the Queen Fan Club Portugal Keep Queen Alive will organize a tribute to Brian May in Lisbon on Saturday, July 21st.

Considered to be one of the most talented guitar players of our time, with an extremely active career during the last 3 decades, Brian May has earned his place in Rock history through his work. Successful composer, he is the author of some of Queen's greatest hits, such as We Will Rock You, Who Wants To Live Forever, The Show Must Go On and Fat Bottomed Girls. Brian has recently resumed his old passion for Astronomy, releasing "Bang", a book on the origin of the Universe. Not leaving music behind, Brian May and Queen plan on releasing an album of originals together with Paul Rodgers in 2008.

The event will take place Saturday, July 21st, at 9 p.m. at Rock in Chiado, Lisbon. Programming contemplates the visualization of Queen concert in Nep Stadium, Budapeste, in 1986; karaoke with Queen songs only; the special and indispensable performance of the Portuguese Queen Tribute Band One Vision.

During the day merchandise from the Queen Fan Club Portugal  will be on sale and a slide show with some rare pictures of Queen and of previous Keep Queen Alive events will be on display.

Hi QFCP !


I wanted you to know we had a great time in Lisbon ... and felt very welcome.  Thanks for your message, guys - I hope the show was a suitable culmination of all the efforts you have made - it was all over so quickly - and we spent a lot of the time trying to deal with the wind carrying the sound away !   But we had a great time - and wish to say Obrigado to all our great friends in Portugal who waited so long to see us.

God Bless and thanks !!


Love

Bri
