Flaming Lips cover Queen at O2 Wireless
Published Monday, Jun 26 2006, 10:02 BST | By Matthew Houghton
The Flaming Lips impressed the crowds at the O2 Wireless Festival over the weekend with a cover version of the Queen song, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
With what The Sun defines as "arguably the best performance seen at this year's event" the Lips got the crowds singing and chanting to the famous track.
Frontman Wayne Coyne reportedly told the crowd, "We were told not to play this ['Bohemian Rhapsody'] if the football World Cup wasn't going well. But because it is, we're going to play it."
The Wireless Festival also saw the likes of Massive Attack and Jack White's new band The Raconteurs take to the stage, proving to be a worthy replacement for this year's absent Glastonbury.
