Gueen

It's been 40 years since Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor first got together to form Queen – and exactly 20 since Yoshinori 'Freddie' Hatae birthed the band's premier Japanese tribute act. Gueen only perform a couple of large gigs each year, and they're something to treasure. Hatae might not have the chops that Freddie did (and, honestly, who does?) but he's a compelling performer, and the band's renditions are pretty much spot-on. Get over the weirdo novelty value, and it's an evening of guaranteed crowd-pleasing fun.
