Last night Roger and Brian celebrated the release of 'Queen I' by hosting an album launch event in Central London. They were interviewed by music journalist, Matt Everitt at the Ham Yard Hotel in front of a packed room of fans, music press, friends, and family. The band discussed the making of the album and the creation of the new version, plus told some fabulous stories from the early part of their career.
The new 2024 mix of the album was then played in its entirety, the lucky crowd were also shown the brand new 'Keep Yourself Alive' video and were played a fun collection of 'studio banter' from the 'Sessions' CD from the box set.
