QUEEN’S legendary guitarist Brian May and rock goddess Kerry Ellis are to bring their stunning candlelit acoustic show, The Born Free Tour, to Bournemouth this month.

After the phenomenal success of the sell-out charity show, Anthems: The Concert, at London’s Royal Albert Hall in May 2011, Their UK tour of Anthems: The Tour and the release of Kerry and Brian’s single Defying Gravity, Kerry and Brian will now be taking their majestic brand-new acoustic show on the road once again across the UK and Ireland throughout June.

The Born Free Tour promises to impress and entertain audiences with its stunning fusion of Kerry Ellis’s beautiful voice and Brian May’s awe-inspiring guitar performances – all in support of the world famous Born Free Foundation. Brian will perform new arrangements of songs he has specially chosen to be sung by Kerry, accompanying her on both guitar and vocals.

Brian said: “Kerry Ellis is now acknowledged as a phenomenon, equally at home in musical theatre and rock. I was convinced from the moment we worked together on We Will Rock You nine years ago that she was destined to be a worldwide star.

“The challenge was to develop songs and arrangements to allow that simply amazing voice to reach its true potential.”

The rock star also owns land near Briantspuddle and has been in the county recently speaking at meetings against government plans to cull badgers.
