The band went on to earn a \u201cWorldwide Best Tribute Band\u201d award in Leicester Square, contribute harmonies to Fatboy Slim\u2019s \u201cThe Real Life,\u201d and play major European arenas, including a Live Aid tribute concert organized by Bob Geldof in Malta.<\/p>\n<p data-wisiwig-body1=\"true\" class=\"txtStyle_body1 mb_$body1\">The April 17 date launches a 12-week U.S. run that continues through Oct. 23 in Baton Rouge and includes a July 30 return to Colorado\u2019s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 10 years after the band\u2019s first performance there. Myers said performing Queen\u2019s catalog became \u201ca very addictive thing,\u201d with shows eventually selling out many of the same arenas Queen once played.
