KERRY ELLIS DOWNLOAD
If that is not enough for you we also have a very special download
currently available on www.queenonline.com.
The track, which is now available exclusively as a download on
www.queenonline.com is a new version of the musical's show stopping ballad,
"No-One But You" performed by Kerry Ellis, creator of the role of 'Meat'
in WWRY, in an entirely new full orchestral production by Brian May.
It is expected that this initiative on the part of Queen will be the
first of a series of special projects based around the massive hit
musical. The download is compatible with both PC and Mac computers.
Says Brian May: "This is a project I have been working on in my mind
ever since we opened We Will Rock You three years ago. We now have many
productions of WWRY operating around the world, all featuring 'No-One
But You', everywhere performed by great singers.
"But the standard was set by Kerry Ellis who created this role in the
very beginning. I have always wanted to make the "Ultimate Version" of
this song on record, and at last I feel this is it!"
May originally wrote the song as a tribute to Freddie Mercury and
recorded a version of it intended for his solo album. When fellow Queen
member Roger Taylor heard the song (Taylor plays drums also on this new
recording) he felt it was a song that Queen should record as a band. The
recording brought back together May, Taylor and John Deacon for the
first and so far only Queen single released without Freddie Mercury,
following the singer's death. The original single can only be found on the
band's Queen Rocks album and the Queen Platinum Collection.
