24 February 2011
Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May are launching a new set of stamps celebrating seven decades of UK stage musicals.
The new stamps feature eight famous shows, including the Queen tale We Will Rock You, the West End classic Oliver! and Monty Python's Spamalot.
Taylor and May said: “We're thrilled that We Will Rock You has been immortalised on a Royal Mail stamp.
“The image on the stamp takes us back to when we were touring as Queen.”
We Will Rock You, named after the Queen hit single, was selected as one of the four first class stamps alongside Blood Brothers, Oliver! and Spamalot.
Me And My Girl, which was first produced in 1937, graces the 97p stamps alongside The Rocky Horror Show, Billy Elliot, and Return To The Forbidden Planet.
Royal Mail spokesman Philip Parker said: “Our musicals stamps reflect the diversity and popularity of the wide range of musicals that have graced not only West End stages, but also hundreds of others around the world.”
