At the heart of Killer Queen is Patrick Myers, a charismatic performer who channels the legendary Freddie Mercury with uncanny precision. Myers is joined by a remarkable ensemble of musicians who bring the beloved sounds of Brian May's guitar, John Deacon's bass and Roger Taylor's drums to life. Killer Queen's first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there decades earlier. Killer Queen's UK popularity grew to such an extent they soon secured a residency in London's Strand Theatre, attracting nationwide BBC coverage and becoming the first tribute to have a show in the West End. The band's reputation continued to grow both in the UK and abroad leading to an awards ceremony in Leicester Square, hosted by Suggs from Madness who presented them with the award for “Worldwide Best Tribute Band.” They also scored a No. 1 hit for their recreation of Queen's harmonies for “The Real Life” with Fatboy Slim.
Killer Queen remained in high demand, playing European arenas like Rotterdam Ahoy, where the now-reformed Queen performed only a few months later. They were thrilled to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos for “Hammer To Fall” and “Don't Stop Me Now.” Killer Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof to raise funds for the homeless.
Killer Queen set their sights on America including the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado — one of the country's most prestigious venues. The Beatles, Springsteen and U2 have all played this venue, and it's become a regular sell-out stop on Killer Queen's tour sheet. During 2020 the band released a single, “We’ll Fight Again,” in the style of Queen written by Myers. Doors open at 7 p.m.
