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.

We must remember, at the time it was considered cool to be somewhat questionably orientated, if you get my drift. By the time News of the World came out, he was, ...well, not so questionable.

Unlike lots of bands in those days, they could play live, sounded great.

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