The disappointment must be great for the Lorraine fans of Queen expected this Sunday at the Galaxie d’Amnéville. The One Night of Queen concert, scheduled for 5 pm, was canceled just two hours before the start of the show, when the gauge was full in view of the new sanitary conditions which limit the number of spectators in the hall to 2,000. In question: the Covid-19.
The singer positive for Covid-19
Gary Mullen, the singer of this show, “tested positive in the middle of the day,” the production apologizes in a statement released around 3 p.m. It is he who embodies on stage Freddie Mercury and his hits with his group Gary Mullen and The Works.

“He first tested positive for antigen, before a second antigen test found him negative. I then sent for a doctor to take a third test which again turned positive. The artist wanted to play but I had no other solution than to cancel, death in the soul, ”explains Richard Walter, the producer with annoyance.
This tribute show is presented as “the most authentic and impressive ever presented on stage”. “We are already working on a postponement date. Keep your tickets well, they will remain valid for this new date ”, specifies the production.

Tickets valid for a new date
Initially scheduled for Saturday January 8, 2021, this concert had already been postponed for a year. Reached by phone, the producer did not hide his disgust at the period he had crossed. “I fought for this tour to take place.
In Amnéville and elsewhere, we could have gathered 4,000 people. With the gauge limited to 2000 spectators, I lose money but I wanted to maintain it to show that the show is still alive. The artists, who come from England, had to arrive on December 25 and isolate themselves for ten days at Roissy in order to be able to play from January 4.
They have been tested every day since. On Saturday they played in Lyon and everything went very well. Tuesday we have to be in Strasbourg. We will do a PCR test again tomorrow to be sure of the singer’s positivity. If it is negative, we will have to cancel ”, regrets Richard Walter, rather pessimistic at the idea of being able to hold the Alsatian concert.
