Ormai lo sapete, in questo blog parliamo molto del Festival di Sanremo così ne approfittiamo anche oggi per parlarvi di alcune novità.
Infatti oltre ad una donna (diversa ogni sera) affiancherà Bonolis e Laurenti sul palco dell’Ariston anche un uomo di bell’aspetto, senza che sia tronista. Anche l’uomo sarà diverso ogni sera.
Intanto vengono smentiti e confermati alcuni rumors sulle vallette donne: sembra che la Bellucci si sarà, mentre Luciana Litizzetto non risponde al telefono. Non ci sarà Angelina Jolie (costa troppo) e neanche Carla Bruni (non l’ha mai cercata nessuno per sanremo). Smentita anche l’ospitata di David Beckham, visto che secondo Bonolis a Sanremo non potrebbe fare neanche i cross, sua specialità.
Tra gli ospiti internazionali, invece, sono confermati i Queen, senza però Paul Rodges e gli Easy Stars All Star.
C’è grande attesa su questo Festival ma… restierà alla dura prova degli ascolti? link
Having just listened to Brian's version of "Slow Down", I really have to wonder why the fark they felt that they ever needed a lead vocalist after Freddie.

Around midnight of the 12th, the Italian Fan Club informed that minutes earlier, during the recording of a major talk show for national TV, first channel, the artistic director and host of the Festival had announced Queen among this year's guests.
He had clearly stated that Paul would not be with them, but not specified IF they would perform music, much less what / how / with whom / etc.
The talk show was to be broadcast next night (the 13th), but since the morning the "news" were all over the place in our press, with the usual inaccuracy / speculation fest.
The Fan Club had soon to specify that still no official confirmation had come from either EMI or QPL, as they'd probably need another few hours to "bridge the gap" and finalise the details of the agreement.
Later that night, the talk show was actually broadcast, but the part announcing Queen among guests was cut, probably in order to avoid "jumping the gun" publicly.
We've had a few more updates from the Fan Club since, specifying that NO confirmation had been given yet, despite the wildest speculations in the national press.
So I think I can safely say that the official current status about Queen @ Sanremo 2009 is: UNconfirmed.
Of course I'll post any updates as soon as I get them.
BTW: the Festival will open on Tuesday, 17 February and the final night will be Saturday, 21 February; Queen were supposed to appear on the first night.
Indovino che nessuno ha ottenuto il mio scherzo in uno degli altri filetti del San Remo.
Avevo annunciato che posso effettuare a SanRemo2009 pure. Il funzionario annuncia è che Brian maggio e Roger Taylor POSSONO effettuare a San Remo.
I' m. ancora che si attiene alla mia dichiarazione. Posso effettuare a San Remo dopo preriscaldamento di Roger e del Brian la folla.
Giocherò Flugelhorn per il momento del tesoro…
… che è se possiamo trovare un cantante.
(e un chitarrista)
(e un bassista)
(e un batterista)
I guess nobody got my joke in one of the other San Remo threads.
I had announced that I may be performing at SanRemo2009 as well. The official announce is that Brian May and Roger Taylor MAY perform at San Remo.
I'm still keeping to my statement. I may perform at San Remo after Brian and Roger warm up the crowd. I will be playing Flugelhorn for Treasure Moment...
...that is if we can find a singer.

(and a drummer)

Official announcement from the Italian Queen Fan Club: Queen will NOT appear at the Sanremo festival next month.
Despite all the schedule-juggling efforts, it eventually proved NOT possible to make a live performance happen at
such short notice (miming was out of the question right from the start).
Reasons given: contacts were only taken earlier this month, with BHM and RMT already busy preparing the WWRY touring production, Spike due to spend a few weeks in the USA, Paul to attend business in Canada for some time, and several tech crew key members on well-deserved leave.
