Gary Mullen & The Works[edit]
After winning Stars In Their Eyes in 2000 by receiving a record breaking number of votes for the show[citation needed], Mullen began touring with his band The Works, putting on a sell-out tribute show known as One Night Of Queen.
The show takes references from many 1980s Queen tours, using a modified custom built lighting rig, made to emulate the lighting rigs used during several Queen tours between 1980 and 1986. In an interview with Ryan Witting on the Rockin' You All Night podcast, Gary Mullen was quoted as saying, "We are trying to create something that you'll never see again because you'll never see Queen with Freddie (Mercury) or John (Deacon)." Gary Mullen & The Works have taken their One Night of Queen show on numerous world tours across the U.K., Europe, New Zealand, South Africa and the U.S. In the United States, Gary Mullen & The Works have been doing extensive tours every year since 2008.[2][3]
Reception[edit]
Since it began in 2001 the One Night Of Queen show has gained celebrity admirers including actor Kevin Pollak, Governor of Texas Rick Perry, and singer Rick Astley.[4][5][6] During their 2018 U.S. tour, Rob Halford, lead singer of Judas Priest, was in attendance at The Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, AZ to watch Gary Mullen & The Works and their One Night of Queen show.
