Nope, no joke. It's been known for a while that Farnsey was doing a version of We Will Rock You for the World Cup... so who knows, the rest could be totally legit as well?
That's what they are saying... it may only be one show or a couple of special occasions, but they definately aren't going to be touring the world again with Farnham up front.
Then again, it seems to be working fine for INXS and Jon Stevens!
[color=#AOEOOA]You do realise the Herald Sun is a tabloid newspaper and not one which actually throughly makes sure their news stories are 100% factual? They'd rather print something which sells papers.
Gotta love people who take those papers seriously.
As for Queen/Farnsy, twould be interesting to say the least. But I think there's only about a 30% chance this may happen for a major basis.[/color]
Ok people, let me tell you all once, and once only - John Farnham will not be singing with Queen ever. Never. Never ever never ever never. And there is a very good reason for this - BECAUSE QUEEN DO NOT EXIST ANYMORE!. It's true, please feel free to spread this ground breaking news around the internet.
Now, he very well may record something with EX-QUEEN MEMBERS Brian May and Roger Taylor, but he will definately not be singing with Queen as this is physically impossible. As the wonderful Mark has pointed out it's not even because Freddie is no more (although that's a very fuckin' big reason), but John Deacon is not even on speaking terms with Brain and Roger and as one quarter of Queen Productions Ltd I think he would have some strong words about half the band going off and recording new songs with someone else under the Queen monicker. Even if, and it's a big if, they were stupid enough to do it it still wouldn't be Queen.
It probably wouldn't have been such huge news in Oz, but after the Freddie Mercury tribute concert every tabloid in the country had the 'Exclusive' that George Michael was going to be joining Queen. A year or so later, every tabloid had the 'Exclusive' that Robbie Williams was going to be joining Queen. Fuck, Freddie's body wasn't even cold before they had the 'Exclusive' that Elton John was going to be replacing him. And I think we all know how true all of these rumours turned out to be.
