February 26, 1976
Montreal, Canada

We had one more show in North America after tonight, and that was Toronto, we already did tours in the bigger capitals in America.

Right now we are in the dressing room, five minutes till show starts. The show was completely sold out, I was so proud.

"Maddie is there a special song you would like us to dedicate to you?" I promised myself I'd do it darling, and I just have to," Freddie said.

"Will uh- how about Killer Queen. That'll always be one of my favorites." I said.

"Oh course darling, we'll perform it just for you. I'd honestly do anything for you and you know that," Freddie said as he gave me a hug, I hugged him back. 

"It's time!" Stage crew yelled.

I gave Roger a kiss good luck as they went out on stage in front of the crowd. The crowd roared as they came out. I was completely impressed with how Freddie controls the crowd.

They started off with Keep Yourself Alive, then went on to I'm in Love with My Car. Freddie was singing backup vocals while Roger was pouring his heart into the song.

"Tell my girl, I have to forget her." He sang.

30 minutes later.

"Alright my darlings listen up," Freddie said getting my attention.

"Roger here is getting married this October, and his lovely fiancé just happens to be my best friend. I know she's listening from a stage wing, and now it's her time to come out and show her true talent." Freddie said as he came to get me from behind a wing. Shit. Only he knew I could sing, the other three boys hadn't heard me sing.

He began playing the beginning melody of Killer Queen.

"She keeps her Moet et Chandon, in her pretty cabinet. Let them eat cake she says, just like Marie Antoinette," I sang with Freddie backing me up.

I sang my heart out, I just didn't know I would be. I looked over at Roger and his eyes were wide, he was drumming but was also staring at me singing.

"She's a Killer Queen. Gunpowder, gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to blow your mind anytime." I sang with the boys backing up.

I wasn't expecting it to be like this, thousands of people looking at me singing. Wow.

As I finished singing, the crowd cheered. They were chanting my name, I didn't know this is what the band always got.

"Give it up for soon to be Mrs. Madelyn Taylor," Freddie said as he held my hand on stage.

"Oh go see your soon to be husband Mads," Freddie chuckled.

Roger came out from behind his drum kit, I ran straight into his arms. The crowd were cheering for us.

"I bet you weren't expecting this love," he whisper talked in my ear.

"Nope, now go get on with your show. I'm just interrupting now," I giggled. I gave him a kiss on the cheek as I made my way back to the wing.

"Give it up for Maddie one last time!" Freddie shouted. I waved and went back behind the stage wing.

I wasn't expecting that at all.
