"The Show Must Go On" by Queen | West End stars sing for charity

West End stars united for a special performance of Queen's "The Show Must Go On" to raise funds for two charities - Mind and Acting for Others.
Created by West End Live Lounge, the video features a total of 45 singers and musicians and all are helping the #SaveOurTheatres campaign. Live Lounge producer Shaun McCourt said: "The arts industry is in dire need of government support in such difficult times. As we begin to see lockdown eased across other sectors, the arts are being left behind. For an industry which puts millions of pounds into the economy each year, it is worrying that little is being done to preserve it. There is no song more apt right now than 'The Show Must Go On'".
Appearing in the video are Glenn Adamson, Kelly Agbowu, Marcus Ayton, Adam Bailey, Zoe Birkett, Maiya Quansah-Breed, Erin Caldwell, Louise Dearman, Kellie Gnauck, Simon Gordon, Natalie Green, Emma Hatton, Lisa-Marie Holmes, Jacqueline Hughes, Joel Harper-Jackson, Sejal Keshwala, Emma Kingston, Martha Kirby, Emma Lindars, Shekinah McFarlane, Kayleigh McKnight, Sarah Moss, Brady Isaacs-Pearce, Laura Pick, Andrew Polec, Lauren James-Ray, Jodie Steele, Danielle Steers, Jennifer Tierney, Rodney Vubya and Ella Young.
They are accompanied by Sam Coates, Ben Golding, Liam Waddle, Ben Steele, Sam Ainslie, Simon Kennard, David Talisman, Clodagh Kennedy, Siobhán McCafferty, Sophie Gledhill, Klara Romac, Rhys Lovell, Jacob Phillips, Wesley Frankel and Mike Kent-Davies.

I am in absolute tears. Freddie's farewell, even after nearly 30 years, brings me to my knees. Thank you all, so much for that tribute and anthem of perseverance.

[@westendlivelounge1564]

What incredibly kind words, thank you so much Phillip. ❤️

[@SuperJralph]

Freddie is sitting back with a huge smile on his face. Well done all. Soooo good.

Nothing more than BRAVO!!! I wish there was a way I could attend multiple shows you put on, but flying isn't cheap - especially when flying across the pond. I'm not sure how I came to want more and more of West End Stars music...probably from Welsh of the West End appearance on BGT in 2022. Yeah, it's 2023 and I'm a "little" behind the times...hey, it takes time to catch up from the pandemic, even with a lockdown. In any event, loved the performance! Not only am I a Queen fan, but you've got another West End fan as well.

I needed this SO bad. I was so close to giving up : Lockdown, Mental Illness and self harm. I felt trapped, hopeless and my depression was eating me alive. I saw some familiar faces here tonight, and my heart jumped back to the times when I was happy. Which was seeing Bat Out Of Hell, not once, but 4 times because I couldn't get enough of that world. As a huge Jim, Meat Loaf and Musical fan...(Okay, the pyrotechnics, rock music and motorbikes had me from the first lick.) ...I fell in love with a brand new world I felt safe in. I know i'm rambling, but seeing the new and old, hearing this song and seeing you ALL, ALL OF YOU pour your heart out for this recording...it gave me hope I can just lick this and keep on keepin' - Lockdown or not. World on fire? I can absorb into music once more with joy. Thank you. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.

[@KerriEngland]

[@katey8711]

I don’t know if it was possible but is there a way it could be put on iTunes and then all the money raised from purchases be donated to the charities?

[@westendlivelounge1564]

This would rely on the powers that be and original writers giving us the rights. Sadly I don’t think it’s possible

[@ericamacdonald5701]

WestEndLiveLounge I’m sure brain may would though

[@TytanTrollMiniatures]

Chances are if it was put to brian may he definitely would, hes a huge philanthropist

Er ... yea ... Don't give up the day jobs ... A for effort though

[@thewheyoflife3548]

I’m better

[@thatdrewrivers]

Pretty good, though the sax player seemed to be in the wrong key (maybe just a mix problem) and why do singers insist on wailing over guitar solos?! The Guitarist knows what he's doing, let him have his moment like you all have.

[@Tommieb86]

that was bloody awful
