English electronic dance music group, formed 1990 in Braintree, Essex
Licence for Knebworth House permits live music and events for up to 125,000 people, signaling potential Oasis reunion shows ahead of the 30th anniversary of 1996 gigs. The approval aligns with a forthcoming documentary and a renewed wave of nostalgia around the band.
Barry Mitchell, Queen’s second bassist during the band’s formative period in 1970–1971, has died. Mitchell played 13 gigs before leaving the group and later reflected that he wasn’t enthusiastic about their music at the time. He subsequently played with Tiger and left a legacy celebrated by fans and fellow musicians.
