The first one is when we first met, in 1983, at their epic debut shows at The Forum, Los Angeles. I make that a good 35 years ago. Since then, the boys have done quite well! Second shot is (I think) in Las Vegas last year. Third is Joe and I rehearsing for the Freddie tribute show at Wembley Stadium, 1992. And the last pair are recent - me playing to open the Oscars 2019, and Joe on tour with the Lepps in the USA. I’m happy I get the chance to honour them."
