Guaranteed to blow your mind

It’s thunderbolts and lightning and very, very frightening but it is just possible that the spirit of the most charismatic and flamboyant front man in history, Freddie Mercury, has taken up residence in Brisbane actor and musician Johnny Blunt.
The lead singer started Killer Queen in 2003 and it has been racking up fans ever since becoming Australia’s longest running Queen tribute act.
Already an experienced and versatile performer, Johnny Blunt decided to pay homage to the greatest rock act of all time.
He added a hot band of Queensland’s best session musicians, a wardrobe of detailed and exactly replicated costumes, a stage presence second to none and thus was born The Killer Queen Show.
Because he bears an uncanny resemblance to Freddie Mercury, some audience members have commented on what they saw on stage was Freddie’s ghost.
From the moment that Johnny steps foot on stage, Freddie’s very essence is alive again and it goes further than that as all members of Killer Queen bear a very real and eerie resemblance to the original band.
But, hauntingly similar appearances aside, they also play like the original band, which is no small feat!
The Killer Queen Show performs live with no backing tracks, just as Queen did back in the day.
The Killer Queen Show guitarist Anthony Smith even uses a signature copy of Queen guitarist Brian May’s guitar to re-create that authentic haunting sound recognized by the millions of fans all around the world.
The Killer Queen Show starts with the hits of the 1970s – the decade of leather and long hair and goes right through to the ’80s and ’90s when Queen was the hottest act in music.
This show will not disappoint with such immortal rock hits as Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions and, of course, Bohemian Rhapsody.
Tickets are only $10 for members and $20 for non-members for the Friday 14 August show at 8pm in the Diggers Bar of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL.
Tickets are available from reception or Dial ‘n’ Charge on 5447 1766.
