Mel C & Brian May perform “WE WILL ROCK YOU” for Children in Need 2011


Melanie C recently took to the stage at London's Dominion Theatre joining cast members from the award-winning musical We Will Rock You to perform a unique curtain call collaboration.

Introduced by the writer and director of the show, Ben Elton, the performance was part of BBC Children in Need's Pop Goes The Musical, a series of West End performances by pop stars to help raise money for disadvantaged children & young people in the UK.

But as a further surprise for the audience, Queen legend Brian May took to the stage. He joined Melanie C in a fantastic and highly energised renditions of 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions'.

The audience went wild, taking part in the infamous 'stamps and claps' as Melanie C's impressive vocals were stunningly enhanced by Brian May's signature show-stopping guitar solos.

Mel C said: 'I feel incredibly lucky to have been a part of 'Pop Goes the Musical' for this year's BBC Children in Need. I can't believe I had the chance to perform with the amazing cast of 'We Will Rock You'.
"I have always been a massive Queen fan, and to have the opportunity to perform two of the band's biggest anthems and to be joined on stage by the legendary Brian May is a dream come true! Thank you Pudsey!"
Brian May added: 'I always wanted to work with Rocky Spice! And tonight it finally happened. She is such a total pro - a delight to interact with. Thanks Mel C! You rock!!!
