QUEEN Members Launch 'Stormtroopers In Stilettos' Exhibition In London (Video) - Feb. 26, 2011
According to BBC News, QUEEN members Roger Taylor and Brian May have opened a new London exhibition to mark the rock band's 40th anniversary.
"Stormtroopers In Stilettos" runs until 12 March at the Old Truman Brewery in east London, England. The free exhibition takes a comprehensive look at the early part of QUEEN's career, from before the band’s formation in 1971 when various bandmembers were dreaming of success while studying astrophysics or running stalls next to Biba in Kensington Market, right up to their spectacular free gig for over 250,000 fans in Hyde Park in 1976.
"There are things I have forgotten," Taylor told BBC News at the launch of "Stormtroopers In Stilettos".
The musician added that many of the exhibits reminded him of the band's late frontman Freddie Mercury.
"It's quite shocking for us to suddenly bring back what happened all those years ago in such vivid detail," said Taylor.

I was working for a guy yesterday, a retired musician, and he knows Brian and Roger.
Jamie Moses is his good friend and old guitarist, he's still playing with Brian May I think... Pretty cool, he was telling me stories from back in the day about hanging with folk like Hendrix and Clapton 
I cant remember exactly what it was he said, it was a busy day, but I think he mentioned Brian and Roger are in the planning stages of putting on a big charity concert.

That is so cool man. Like all-time type of cool. Looking forwards always to any future concerts with Queen, so hopefully that charity thing will happen.
Just because you know a guy who knows Roger & Brian and all those old timers, SO gets you a karma.
Cool story

He was drummer in a glam rock band called Merlin, Jamie Moses was the guitarist. They started out the same time as Queen and for a while had similar fortunes, and as he put it "They had Freddie Mercury and we didnt, so they took off and we fell away".
He's 60 now and does environmental work, I'm redeveloping his garden and some land he owns.
We were talking about a lot of plans and things for his garden so I cant remember everything he said about rock n roll, he told me his life story more or less lol, he played with quite a few known names before and after Merlin but gave it up because he hated coming home from tour and his kids wouldnt know him.
Now I could be getting mixed up, but I think this charity concert is being planned by Queen and The Who, possibly to do with improving hospital facilities in africa.
