I saw Queen once in concert, in Boston. They actually opened for ELO. I had no idea Mercury was homosexual. None. I just remember thinking, ‘There’s something very...odd, about the way he’s dressed and the vibe he gives off’. But I didn’t suspect the truth at that time. They were very good live, as was ELO.

The name of the band didn't tip you off? Or the lyrics to "Killer Queen?"

Lol. I was so naive, you wouldn’t believe it. They were from England where there is an actual queen (Elizabeth). I drew no sexual conclusions from the name (just as it never occurred to me to consider The Beatles insects or entomologists).

I’m not sure they had recorded Killer Queen at the time they were opening for ELO. Didn’t that tune come a bit later?
