“It’s been an amazing journey. That first show back in June 1993 changed my life,” lead singer Patrick Myers said. “We thought our band would last maybe a summer.”
Killer Queen, a tribute to Queen, is set to return to perform in M Pavilion at M Resort Spa Casino on Saturday, Oct. 17. The longest-established global Queen tribute direct from the U.K., Killer Queen will perform songs made famous by Freddie Mercury and Queen with lead singer Patrick Myers as Mercury.
Tickets, starting at $20 plus taxes and fees, go on sale Friday, March 27, at 10 a.m. PT and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com. Killer Queen formed in 1993. Their first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there 21 years earlier.
In 1999, Killer Queen won the award for “Worldwide Best Tribute Band.” The band also scored a #1 hit when they were asked to re-create Queen’s harmonies for “The Real Life” with Fatboy Slim in 2001.
In 2016, Killer Queen set their sights on America, including the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the U.S.’s most prestigious venues where The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen and U2 have all headlined.
“It’s been an amazing journey. That first show back in June 1993 changed my life,” Myers said. “We thought our band would last maybe a summer at the most, but it’s a very addictive thing performing these songs!
“The concerts grew and grew, and we’ve ended up playing and selling out the same arenas that Queen played at their peak. It’s been quite a surreal ride.” Doors open at 7 p.m. on Oct. 17, and the concert will begin at 8 p.m.
