Q+PR to rush commercial release of World Aids Day track "Say it's not true"
Available from December 31, 2007.

Having originally issued the track as a free download for World Aids Day (December 1) to support Nelson Mandela's 46664 HIV AIDS campaign, rock group Queen and Paul Rodgers are responding to public demand to make their newly recorded song 'Say It's Not True' available as a commercial CD single release. All royalties from world sales will be donated to Nelson Mandela's AIDS cause, 46664. The release has been prompted by extraordinary download demand for the track which went beyond everyone's expectations. More then 100,000 downloads were recorded at the band's website, www.queenonline.com over the first weekend. The band promise buyers of the single the premium of hearing the track in a new mix, heightened by further studio work by the band after the necessity of delivering an early mix for download in time for World AIDS Day. The single comes as an enhanced CD release carrying the full video shown at the Johannesburg concert. While not physically available until December 31, the CD can be pre-ordered from www.queenonline.com from Monday.

WWRY Cologne
WWRY Cologne will sadly have it's last performance on June 30, 2008 (thought tickets up until now are only for sale for the shows until June 29, 2008!?). It's sad to see such a great show leaving my hometown because the City Council cannot decide on the Cologne's Musical Dome's future.
