ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN

INAUGURAL TOUR 2027

The musicians who toured with Rock Royalty salute the legends in a night honouring the music of Queen.

Get ready for a spectacular night celebrating the music, magic and legendary legacy of Queen!  Led by Queen’s long-standing keyboardist and touring Musical Director Spike Edney, ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN brings together an extraordinary line-up of musicians who have performed alongside Queen, Brian May and Roger Taylor, as part of their touring family over the years.

Featuring Spike Edney on keys, Jamie Moses on guitar, Neil Fairclough on bass and Tyler Warren on drums, these world-class musicians reunite to deliver an electrifying celebration of Queen’s greatest hits, performed by the very musicians who helped bring this iconic music to life on stage, over the past 40 years.

With powerhouse vocals, outstanding musicianship and a few surprises along the way, ALL THE QUEEN’S MEN promises an unforgettable evening of timeless anthems, fan favourites, incredible performances and stories from the road. This is more than a tribute - it's a celebration of Queen's musical brilliance, performed by musicians who were part of the journey!

Queen’s music is in their DNA.  The legacy lives on!

SPIKE EDNEY - Keys, Musical Director & Vocals

Spike Edney has been at the heart of Queen’s live sound for more than four decades. He first joined Queen in 1984 for The Works Tour, performing with the band at their legendary Live Aid appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1985, before returning for the historic Magic Tour in 1986 - including two nights at Wembley Stadium and Freddie Mercury’s final Queen performance at Knebworth.

Following Freddie’s death, Spike remained firmly within the Queen family, working with Roger Taylor’s The Cross and joining The Brian May Band, as well as touring with Queen + Paul Rodgers from 2005–2008 and Queen + Adam Lambert from 2012 onwards. He has served as Queen’s touring keyboard player and Musical Director across countless major performances and world tours, including The Rhapsody Tour, The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, Live at Wembley, the global Nelson Mandela 46664 Concert series, the Oscars, Global Citizen, Fire Fight Australia, the Platinum Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace and much more. Spike has also continued his association with Roger Taylor, playing on his Outsider Tour in 2021 and most recently Roger’s 2026 solo tour, Violence Insane in a Beautiful World.

JAMIE MOSES - Guitar & Vocals

Jamie Moses’s association with the Queen family stretches back more than three decades. Recommended by his longtime friend Spike Edney, Jamie joined The Brian May Band for the Back To The Light World Tour in 1993, playing guitar and backing vocals alongside Brian, Spike and the late Cozy Powell. He returned to Brian’s band for the Another World Tour in 1998, touring extensively across the world and performing both Brian’s solo material and Queen classics.

Jamie later joined Brian May and Roger Taylor for Queen + Paul Rodgers, beginning with their 2004 UK Music Hall of Fame performance and going on to become the band’s second guitarist and backing vocalist for the 2005–06 world tour and Rock the Cosmos Tour in 2008. Those years took him around Europe, North America, Asia and South America, helping bring Queen’s music back to arenas around the world.

NEIL FAIRCLOUGH - Bass & Vocals

Neil Fairclough has been holding down the low end for Queen for well over a decade. His association with the band can be traced to performances with Brian May, Roger Taylor and Spike Edney in 2011, before he became the touring bassist for Queen + Adam Lambert, joining the band for their early shows in 2012. Since then, Neil has been part of the Queen touring line-up through successive international tours, including the extensive Queen + Adam Lambert tours and the spectacular Rhapsody Tour.

Neil’s connection with the Queen family extends beyond Queen itself. In 2021 he joined Roger Taylor’s solo band for the Outsider Tour, alongside Spike Edney and Tyler Warren, performing Roger’s solo catalogue as well as Queen favourites. He has continued that relationship with Roger, joining his touring band again for the 2026 Violence Insane in a Beautiful World tour.

TYLER WARREN — Drums, Percussion & Vocals

Multi-instrumentalist Tyler Warren’s journey into the Queen family began behind the drum kit with Queen Extravaganza, the official Queen tribute production created by Roger Taylor. Tyler was part of the original touring line-up and spent several years performing Queen’s notoriously demanding catalogue before making the leap to the real thing.

In 2017, Tyler joined Queen + Adam Lambert as percussionist, additional drummer and backing vocalist alongside Roger Taylor, Brian May, Spike Edney and Neil Fairclough. He went on to become an integral part of the touring band, including the Rhapsody Tour, often sharing drumming duties with Roger himself. Tyler also joined Roger’s solo band for the 2021 Outsider Tour, where he played drums, sang backing vocals and stepped forward to take lead vocals on Roger’s Queen track Rock It (Prime Jive). He continues his work with Roger as part of his 2026 Violence Insane in a Beautiful World touring band.
