Latvia's Prime Minister To Perform With QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS In Riga

September 19, 2008

According to a posting on QUEEN guitarist Brian May's official web site, Latvia's Prime Minister Ivars Godmanis invited QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS yesterday to his official offices yesterday to welcome them to his country but also to converse on one of his favorite subjects — rock music.

Prime Minister Godmanis, now serving his second term as the country's leader, further revealed during the encounter that as a hobby he relaxes by beating out his favorite rock rhythms on his personal drum kit.

The unlikely outcome of this official meeting is that Prime Minister Godmanis will take over Roger Taylor's famed QUEEN drum kit at tonight's Riga Arena concert for a performance with the band of singer Paul Rodgers' classic hit "All Right Now".
