More disappointing to me than signing a document was a band of Queen's caliber not addressing an abhorrent massacre at a music festival, the Supernova Music Festival (a peace festival) where over 260 young people were gang raped, slaughtered and kidnapped. Adam was so eloquent dedicating "Who Wants to Live Forever" to the victims of the Pulse Night Club shooting, yet I don't remember hearing Brian, Roger or Adam mentioning this at all when they performed on tour in Toronto three days later. Adam even performed in Israel 4 months earlier and with Queen's Brian and Roger in 2016 and 2018. Please correct me if I may have missed it. This is not a political statement and has nothing to do with taking sides but as an act of human kindness to victims and their families rather than acting as if something occurring like this at a music festival is of no consequence. Queen always wanted to be for all people and therefore they always tried to stay away from any political statements. They still regret the 1 time they did get involved in South Africa. Adam alone wanted to dedicate the song to the victims of the nightclub shooting, because that really hit home for him, and Brian and Roger agreed. |
