Mayor calls for Freddie Mercury comeback gig

June 9, 2009

It helps to swot up on current affairs when angling for a job, especially in the highly visible world of politics.

If you think our politicians are out of touch, Guru feels you may be judging them a little harshly by international standards. The Mayor of Zagreb - who is hoping to be re-elected - has called for Freddie Mercury to make a comeback gig in the Croatian capital.

Speaking on national television about his musical preferences, Milan Bandic said he wanted to attract rock legends to the city.

"I would like to see David Bowie play in Zagreb. And Freddie Mercury could come, too," he said.

The poor man seemed shocked to be told that the Queen frontman had died 18 years ago.

I suppose asking for Churchill back would be too much of an ask?
:-)

Freddie will never die! He lives in our hearts!! :-)

Dawood:

Montserrat Caballe: "The difference between Freddie and almost all the other rock stars was that he was selling the voice."
