Queen guitarist Brian May has slammed ITV for pulling the plug during the band’s set at the Nelson Mandela bash at the weekend.
The 90th birthday party treat was shown live from London’s Hyde Park last Friday and closed with Queen performing a set of their hits. May was angered that the TV company decided to cut most of the bands performance, forcing him to post the following statement on his website:
“It baffles me how, given the privilege of televising an internationally significant event, a TV company can miss the point so badly.
“All [they] had to do was televise the whole event, with no insertions from them. Well, it seems they largely failed. I wonder who’s responsible for these bad decisions?”
If you feel that you might have missed something have a look at the following videos of Queen closing the show.
