Queen + Adam Lambert live at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, UK - July 14, 2012
Tumblr media
Fan Stories
“I found out that Queen would be touring with Adam Lambert through the Queen fan club and begged my mum to let me go as a treat for passing my A-Levels. We live in Hull, so making the trek down to Hammersmith for the four of us was going to be very expensive but after lots of nagging, she finally agreed to take us. However, our journey seemed to be doomed from the start. We missed out on tickets for the first 2 dates so obviously we were very disappointed, but then Queen added another date which we were able to get tickets for. I had been told to try and get into the last night of the tour because the last night was always a bit more relaxed as the band let their hair down more and everyone had a great time. Unfortunately we wouldn't all be sitting together and our seats weren't very good (seated near the back, Row P) but no matter, we were going to see Queen live! When the tickets arrived I slept with them under my pillow for 2 months. On the day of the concert we woke up really early and drove to the train station. We had to catch 2 trains to take us to Kings Cross in London and the first train was supposed to be taking us to Doncaster to change over. We had been travelling for about 20 mins before we realised that we were on the wrong train! We ended up in York and my mum quickly dashed us over to the help desk to find out when the next train to London was departing. Because we had booked the train in advance but had now missed it we would have to pay £200 for new tickets for the next train. We then started to look for a train to take us back home because we couldn't afford to do that, however the train guard from the London train had heard our predicament and told us that he would let us on for free, just keep quiet about it!' We finally arrived in London around an hour later than planned but we were finally here!
After a day of exploring Hammersmith and doing the usual touristy things, we decided to go for some pre-show drinks at a local pub near to the venue. The pub turned out to be full of other fans who had also had the same idea, judging by the amount of Queen T-shirts I saw. I met some really cool people there and after a while we decided it was time to leave for the venue. We queued up outside and after buying our merchandise the steward directed us to our seats, however we had arrived there about an hour early so the theatre was practically empty as everyone else was obviously in the bar. We would be sitting separately for the concert but decided to sit together whilst we were waiting and then move when more people started to come in. As the clock ticked down and my excitement was mounting, my dad noticed that there was a whole section of seats overlooking the balcony near the front that was not filled. So dad had the sneaky idea of moving down to those seats to see if we could sit in them and if anyone came and told us to move, we would just go back to our original seats. As the show was about to start the section started to slowly fill up with people and we prayed that nobody would come and move us. It was the longest hour of my life as every time a steward walked past we sank lower down into our seats not wanting to draw attention to ourselves and the fact that we were not sitting in the right section. The show was supposed to start at 8pm, and as 8pm came and went there were still 3 rows of seats completely empty, apart from us, which we thought was very strange as we knew that the show had sold out and my dad said that there was no way a whole 3 rows worth of people would come charging up the stairs once the show had started. From behind the curtain we could hear sounds of a guitar being tuned and drum beats and the crowd went wild. Then just as the show was about to start, a group of women came to sit down in the empty seats on our row and we thought we'd be moved on, but they luckily they all passed us. One woman was wearing a bright pink sequinned top and bore a striking resemblance to Anita Dobson (Brian May's wife), she smiled at us and said 'hi!'. As the party continued to file past we noticed that they were all wearing VIP guest passes. We has inadvertently crashed the VIP section and were sat next to Anita Dobson, Brian's son Jimmy and his family, one of Brian's daughters (I think it was Louisa), Roger Taylor's wife Sarina, his daughter Tiger-Lily, Nancy Dell'Olio, and two gentlemen whom I was convinced were Mike Moran and Peter Hince although I couldn't get a good enough look at them as they were sat in front. There were also a few other people I didn't recognise so I assume they were part of Adam Lambert's entourage. We just couldn't believe it! The stewards immediately came round and started checking some people's passes in the section and we were terrified that we were going to be found out and moved on, but by some miracle they didn't notice us so we stayed where we were, I mean we certainly weren't going to move unless we were forced! Anita didn't sit down throughout the whole show and danced with everyone, including us! I was trying not to stare over at them too much because I figured they probably wanted to be private and by the way they came in, they were obviously trying to draw as least attention as possible. My dad was filming the show and tried to discreetly pan the camera around to film where we were sat as we knew no one would believe us without video evidence, but as soon as he focused on Anita, she jumped up in front of the camera and waved energetically. They were all very candid. When Brian played Last Horizon she watched avidly perched on the back of her seat (she never sat down properly) with pure love in her eyes, which sounds so mushy but it was true!
As for the show itself, Queen opened with Keep Yourself Alive. During either this song or the next one, I can't remember which, Brian had a camera attached to the Red Special, sort of pointing down the neck so it was filming his fingers on the fret board which was played on the back screen. He kept titling his guitar as he was playing to try and film the audience. During Under Pressure he also brought out a double-necked Red Special (Didn't get any photos of this but there are loads on the Queen website). Adam Lambert himself was, contrary to what many have said, a fantastic front man. I was a bit worried as I hadn't really heard of him before and obviously he wasn't going to be as brilliant as Freddie but he really surprised me by being very vocally strong, with real stage presence but also very respectful to Queen and the music and so didn't try and detract any attention away from them onto himself. He knew that the audience were here to see Queen, (I didn't see any people there just for Adam Lambert) and so knew when to back down and let them take over more. Unlike Paul Rodgers, he didn't perform any of his own songs which I preferred as I wouldn't have known any of them anyway and always felt that Paul came to Queen with too much historical baggage which was one thing I disliked about him. Even Anita at one point said that she thought Adam had a great voice. On the subject of frontmen, Freddie was played on the screen singing Love Of My Life which I cried all the way through. Turning around, Jimmy May was also in tears and was being hugged by Anita. Queen are famous for giving a spectacular lightshow and this time was no exception. There were about 2 or 3 massive lighting rigs that titled across the stage, as well as smoke machines, fireworks, and flames during Bohemian Rhapsody, which Freddie also sang. When the flames went up you could feel the heat on your face, which was incredible as we were sat up in the circle and could still feel our skins burning. In fact, it got so hot that at one point somebody fainted in the stalls and had to be carried out, ironically during Another One Bites The Dust. After that song played, the show paused while the stewards came round with trays of water for everyone to have a drink. The show continued but I struggle to remember which song was next however during Radio Ga Ga I chanced a look around at the audience during the handclapping part and realised that Lulu had been sitting behind me for the whole show! I tried to get Anita to sign my program but I stupidly hadn't brought a pen so I was going to try to ask a steward for one when the show was over and try and catch her quickly. Unfortunately she was escorted out early before the show had finished to avoid being seen by too many people so I didn't get a chance, but she still took some photos with us and me and my dad both thought it was hilarious how she practically photo-bombed his filming of the show, which was in itself amazing. If you ever get round to updating this site and I hope that you will, then I could send you the footage we got. The sound quality is not that good and I know loads of other people have probably filmed the whole show properly (I saw cameramen and press there) but I have footage of us with everyone just in case anyone doubts the authenticity of my story. I know that it's pretty unbelievable!
I knew that going to see the Gods of rock that Queen are would be the most amazing thing ever but to find yourself landed in the friends and family section and having to pretend that you were somehow part of that group in order to avoid being thrown out of your seats whilst simultaneously getting to dance and get drunk with them all, was just something else. You could go and see Queen a hundred times and never get what we got that day. It was the whole experience that made it the best day ever not just the show. And it all happened purely by chance, they just happened to sit next to us, we didn't even know that they were going to be there, as well as very nearly not making it to London at all! It really was a kind of magic.” - Tiffany Relph

Roger and Debbie
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Roger Meddows Taylor (26 July 1949) 💕 Deborah “Debbie” Leng (6 April 1963)  
In a relationship from 1987 to 2004 (not married)
Children:
Rufus Tiger Taylor (8 March 1991)
Tigerlily Taylor (10 October 1994)
Lola Daisy May Taylor (2 April 2000)
Deborah Jane Leng Burgess is a model and actress, and Roger met her on the set of his side band The Cross' video-clip "Cowboys and Indians" (1987). She next appeared as the masked lady in Queen’s “Breakthru”. Debbie started her modeling under the artistic name of Debbie Du-Bell in 1982, and represented the UK in the 1986 edition of Supermodel of the World. She created a sensation in 1987 when she became the iconic Cadbury's Flake girl in a TV commercial and got axed three years later for being "too sexy".
Roger and Debbie’s relationship was immediately object of interest for tabloids, especially since he married his previous girlfriend Dominique in 1988 to secure their two children and the media didn't understand their relationship was actually over, and Roger he soon moved in a new mansion with Debbie. Another object of scandal was the alleged diffusion of a sex tape between the two, and the media never failed to point out their age difference of 14 years. The drummer of a world famous band and a beautiful supermodel couldn’t stay out of the spotlight, after all...
However, besides often appearing together at events, concerts and parties, looking dashing and rich, what happened privately in their lives seems to remain very private. (short to say I’m not really finding much out there besides gossip articles mentioned above). Of course, Debbie is a beautiful woman and always looks friendly and smiling around her family, often having fun with Roger, but there's not much additional information about her personality.
They had Rufus, Tigerlily and Lola together and it appears that Debbie has stayed a lot by Roger’s side after Freddie’s death. “Freddie Mercury was still alive when Rufus came along in 1991 and those two got on famously. Mind you, Fred was always fabulous with kids — he was the one who came up with Rufus’s middle name: Tiger.”  They split in around 2004, but they still have a close relationship nowadays and Debbie introduced Tigerlily and Lola to the modeling world, following her steps, while Rufus is drummer of The Darkness, much like Roger.
“Although Rufus’s mum [Deborah Leng] and I were together for about 15 years, we never did get married. I also had Felix and Rory Eleanor from a previous relationship [with Dominique Beyrand], but in that situation, we did eventually tie the knot. I guess I wanted to make sure Felix and Rory were looked after financially. “I’ll admit my life back then was, well… let’s say it was complicated. It was a strange time for all of us. Wouldn’t it be great if relationships were simple and easy? Sadly, breaking up with people who mean a lot to you is never simple or easy. The important thing for me has always been that the kids support each other and feel like brothers and sisters. There’s not some from “this relationship” and some from “that relationship”; they are a gang of five.” (Roger in 2014)
“Mum and Dad never actually got married, but their separation was still pretty rough. There was a bit of shouting for a while and a few headlines, but, y’know what: shit happens. People split up. Both of them have gone off and done their own thing, and they’ve got a much better relationship these days.” (Rufus in 2014)

Also an angel flew down to my perfect bedroom & divined this information to me so I know it to be true. it’s like what she would listen to either because of her reality or her emotions. Bye)

Dancing On My Own - Robyn
Tigerlily - La Roux
False God - Taylor Swift
Pink in the Night - Mitski

Elven AU!
Tumblr media
Roger always thought Brian didn't like him. In all interactions, Brian was too cold, too indifferent to Roger, although notes of warmth and friendly love still sometimes leaked out, showing the real attitude to the healer.
Roger always thought Brian didn't like him.
Until the moment when human arrows pierced his chest, before he screamed and stupidly hit the ground.
Brian couldn't stand being an indifferent piece of ice anymore. Having stopped fighting, he jumped up to Taylor and pulled him aside.
Before his consciousness dissolved into darkness, Roger heard hundreds of incoherent words, screams of his curly-haired friend. The elf, holding the tears back, pulled out the arrows and promised Roger that he would save him, that Tigerlily would be able to heal his wounds and everything would be as it was.
After that, noticed that Roger was dead, Brian screamed in despsir. The whole forest heard his cry, but no one could help.

Hey :D
For the flowers ask game how about azalea (i have to ask this one back!) and tiger lily?
@thelightsandtheroses
Hehe hi again!! :D
The azalea one is my fave on the list, I love music so much. Last song I listened to/am listening to on repeat is You're Losing Me by Taylor Swift. I am a HUGE huge huge Taylor fan, and this song has been killing me since she released it. I could go on and on about it but I'll just say it's heartbreaking and has so many lyrical parallels to her love songs of the 6 past years. So sad but such a beautiful song.
Tigerlily: omg yes I have to narrow it down. TLOU is what's been on my mind so much lately so I'm going to go with Part 2 (spoilers), the last scene we see between Joel and Ellie: "I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try." Makes me sob every time. Also, just Joel's simple "I got you" and the repetition of it in different scenes and parallels, such a brilliant way to say so much about his character with three words.

It’s Tigerlily Taylor’s birthday today 🎈In 1991 Roger let Freddie choose the name of his latest unborn child, if they were a boy he would be called "Tiger" and if they were a girl it would be "TigerLily". That baby was a boy, and it’s how Rufus Tiger got his name.
In a questionnaire (can’t find it now, it’s somewhere here on tumblr) Roger was asked who chose the names of his children (he or his partner) and he said they were all mutually chosen, but he really pushed forTigerlily.
In September 1994, he released his third solo album a month before Tigerlily was born. It also happened to be Freddie’s birthday. The liner notes read : “dedicated to the tasmanian tiger - thylacinus cynocephalus...
         but most especially... for freddie”
🥹♥️
Aww, I didn't know it was her birthday today, but yes, I know!! God, I love their friendship. 🥺🥰 Thank you for sharing! ❤️

for the flower asks 💓
snowdrop— would you say that you have been in love before?
daisy— what is your idea of the perfect date?
cosmos — what's the best compliment you've ever received? who was it from?
tigerlily — do you have any favorite quotes from any movies, tv shows, books, or poetry? (or from people in real life)
hi vivi!! thanks for the ask <33
snowdrop - um, i’d say so? it wasn’t that great though, the whole relationship ended up being really bad for me. but yeah, i’d say i was in love with the person at some point, it just wasn’t what i thought it would be.
daisy - i think for me the perfect date would be doing something that would be interesting and fun for both of us, like going to the aquarium (predictable, i know) or maybe an art museum or a planetarium or something like that? i am also very fond of picnics!! but as long as we’re both having fun i don’t think it really matters where we are, ya know?
cosmos - i think the best compliment i’ve ever received was from my supervisor at the aquarium. i was working at the microscope exhibit (where i put some stuff under the microscope and basically just tell people what i see, as well as some fun facts, and i answer questions about the stuff i’m showing the audience) and she was watching me work, and afterwards she told me that i’m very good at conveying the information in a fun, interesting way and that made me feel really proud of myself!!
tigerlily - taylor’s clean speech from the 1989 tour, 100%. and also that quote that’s like, “i’ll take care of you - it’s rotten work - not to me. not if it’s you”. i lose my mind a little bit every time i hear it.
